Hulkling could join the MCU in Champions with wicca
Wiccan is already in the MCU, debuting as a child in WandaVision (as Billy Maximoff) and then in Agatha all the time (like Billy Kaplan).

While a portion of Marvel’s readership didn’t support this relationship, it’s still one of the best in comics, and these two young heroes have a love so pure and special that it’s better than almost anything else in comics. If Hulkling and Wiccan are part of the Champions movie, and shows their love story, could be one of the best moments in MCU history.
