This could be Marvel’s chance to fulfill fan’s wishes and also introduce the Young Avengers in the upcoming phase. Locke and Connor have previously proven their chemistry through Euros Lyn’s teen drama, so their dynamic would lead to a greater chance of success.

The upsetting denial: Lost hopes?

Unfortunately, contrary to the viewers’ opinion the actor in question did not agree with the fan cast. Connor spoke to Omelete in an interview, translated from Portuguese by Comic Book Movie, about the circulating rumors.
