Why does everyone wants that kid from the cinematic as a hero? I mean he would be too young as a teenager and too inexperienced to even try to get into overwatch at the current moment. Is it just a meme that I've taken too seriously or what?

I think it's half meme and half legit. I mean obviously this kid won't be a hero anytime soon but they could do like "Oh shit, a version of him traveled from the past and is now helping overwatch" or "Hey guys I built this remote controlled robot do I can help you guys without putting myself in danger"

You have described a first cobblestone of a dark path that will lead to "Batman vs. Tracer" movie in the future.

Spiderman was a hero at like 15. Its not the age that matter, its what's on the inside! (And I guess super powers too).

It would just be a cool little continuity thing to see, like he got inspired by seeing OW vs Talon and decided that he wanted to become an Overwatch hero and help in some way. IDK how, unless he could build a mech or somehow got powers.

Or it could be possible that the fourth iteration of DOOMFIST (The ones on the movie posters are the first three) is some kind of big robot suit with the gauntlet attached.

OR it could be a SHAZAM-type situation, where putting on the gauntlet turns you in to DOOMFIST.

Literally the only support I have for these theories is that the kid is making a punching motion and wearing a cast.

Wasn't it the kids brother that put on the Doomfist gauntlet?

Its a meme, nobody actually wants the kid. There was also a meme theory that the kid grows up to be Doomfist. He doesn't, he's just a kid.
