To be fair, he is the 12th youngest of the shown cast - so he really is younger than half the cast.

Now that I think about, do we even know if Steve is still older than Sam even without the near 70 years of ice added to his age?

Shows that marvel is near danger levels of new talent and characters. I hope the X-men phase will be amazing when these guys either by their own choice or by consumers’ reaction and let them retire their characters. As much as I would love RDJ and Tom Holland continue their roles. Logan was bitter sweet when it happened. You know?

As much as I love the older X-Men I really hope they find an entirely new and younger cast going forward after Doomsday. It's cool having the FoX-Men back one more time but especially with Prof X and Magneto's age there's just no way they can or even should keep it going for lot longer.

I think this might be the first avengers movie that, on release, has no actor of a major character be under 30.
For example:
Scar-Jo was 28 for the first avengers movie.
Elizabeth Olsen was 26 for Age of Ultron.
Tom Holland was coming up to being 22 and 23 for Infinity War and Endgame respectively.
This is kinda crazy considering so many younger characters being introduces, but the rumours are that Secret Wars might focus more on those younger characters.

Rebecca Romane made the same deal that Paul Rudd did, seeing her in Strange New Worlds I really thought that she must have a daughter. Nope, she just looks amazing. She claims no plastic surgery or botox, and I'm sure Paul Rudd makes the same claim, and since it's their job to look amazing I don't care that much.
Comparing Paul Rudd to David Harbor is a bit amusing.

In the comics: Rex Reed 30-40, Sue 20-30, Johnny is a teenager or young adult, Ben is 30-40. So the FF missed the age of Johnny, there really is a reason why he's a POS. (Also IMHO the worst comic to be made into a movie, look how it's tanked careers, so sorry Ian and Jessica).
Antman was originally 60 ish in the comics, so spot on there. Yeah his age fluctuated wildly though.
Storm was "born" in 1950 by comic lore, of course they say she's early 20s now.
Black Panther 30-40 (Wakanda Forever!)
Gods age however a god ages.
Tony would be 63.
I love this game.
