'Daredevil: Born Again' reveals Ms. Marvel update, sparking Young Avengers speculation in latest episode

Ms. Marvel’s father hints at her being in L.A. with friends, sparking Young Avengers theories in 'Daredevil' episode.

Marvel fans watching Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ may have just caught a significant clue pointing towards the formation of the Young Avengers.

In episode five of the series, Yusuf Khan (played by Mohan Kapoor), father of Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, makes a surprise appearance as the assistant bank manager interacting with Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox).

During their conversation, Yusuf casually mentions that his daughter isn’t in Jersey City—she’s currently in Los Angeles “with her friends.” Though vague, this remark instantly piqued fans' interest, especially given recent developments across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The final scene of The Marvels saw Kamala approaching Kate Bishop in a Nick Fury-style recruitment pitch. Her cryptic question, “Did you know Ant-Man had a daughter?” was a direct nod to Cassie Lang, another established Young Avenger. The MCU has already introduced Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), Wiccan, Speed, Eli Bradley, Kid Loki, and Cassie Lang—all core members of the comic book version of the team.

Adding to the intrigue, comic lore also features the West Coast Avengers, a group that includes Kamala’s current MCU allies. While the two teams are distinct, Marvel might be merging them to streamline storytelling in upcoming phases.

This brief exchange in Daredevil: Born Again has fuelled speculation that the Young Avengers are not just assembling—they might already be in action. Whether or not this leads to an official team reveal, the hints are getting harder to ignore.

With the multiverse concept firmly established, Marvel Studios has ample room to expand. Whether this is a direct setup or clever misdirection remains to be seen.
