And he's now a she.
Spider-Man? Miles Morales, Black/Puerto Rican, and <barf> from Brooklyn. Ms Marvel? Kamala Khan, Muslim desi from <barf> Jersey City. Captain America? Sam Slade of Harlem. Nova? Sam Alexander, non-specific Latino from Arizona. Thor? Blond white chick.
Vision's a fucking Android.
No one is saying who Iron Man will be, but there's talk that it won't be Tony Stark.
I never got into Thor, but I genuinely like the lineup. And because these characters have been around for a few years, it doesn't feel forced, or like they're pushing this as the MINORITYVENGERS. Feels more like a lineage lineup: characters that have inherited their roles.

Rumor is that it'll be Pepper Potts in her suit.

Did you feel that way about Luke Cage's Mighty Avengers? I kinda did for a second but then I think I liked them being more grounded as opposed to battling world-shattering, cosmic threats all the time.
I'm definitely interested but I'm also hoping for a traditional squad too. I've been an Avengers fan for a very long time and I like the fact that they're mixing it up. But I'd miss the old guard.
I liked the line-up of Mighty Avengers, but it felt a lot more 'Defenders' than 'Avengers'. It also had terrible timing, as the Axis event just made the book feel awkward.
Blue Marvel > Sentry, though.
And I wouldn't bat an eyelash at an all-male Avengers, so all-female Avengers is gonna have to come with good stories, just like any other book. I'm hoping they don't treat it as a gimmick.

is that why they are saying is the A-list?
or
is this a group kind of like "Young Avengers" was (more of a teen titans equivalent)? <--- this asked based on how many avengers teams have been running around simultaneously as of late
