Arabian Knight in the MCU?
Will Arabian Knight join the MCU?
Kevin Feige has done an amazing job to lay seeds from the start which eventually pay off to something much greater and significant in the future. Like how Thanos was introduced in the post credits scene of The Avengers and the entire Infinity Saga was based on that. Who would've thought.
Same goes for how a kid from Iron Man 2, the one in the end where Iron Man saved him, is now retconned to be Peter Parker and seems like that was his defining moment to become a hero like his idol Tony Stark.
We can say the same for the kid in Iron Man 3, Harley Keener, who worked alongside Tony Stark; he, with much to everybody's surprise, showed up in the end of Avengers: Endgame all grown up. It could mean something, I mean why else would they bring a certain forgotten character back like 6 years later in a movie for a cameo. Marvel must be thinking ahead and might make him a definitive hero in the MCU going forward, possibly Iron Lad.
Now, in conjunction with aforementioned facts, my theory is based on a kid we saw all the way back in the first movie of the MCU: Iron Man. In the scene where in Gulmira, the Ten Rings were wreaking havoc, killing and abducting people, and so we see that a man was being taken away from his family and his boy started screaming to let him go. Then Iron Man dropped in and saved the town. My theory is that how Iron Man might have had an impact on that kid and motivated him to fight crime as well when he grows up. This kid grows up to become the Marvel superhero Navid Hashim aka Arabian Knight.

The kid was played by the actor named Javan Tahir and after all these years he's been grown up now so I think it's quite fitting to bring him back to play the Arabian superhero in the MCU. Marvel is now diversifying the franchise so yeah, bringing in a character from Middle East would be amazing. Now, I know that Gulmira is a town in Afghanistan, but in all these years it can be explained away that how the kid might have completed his studies in Saudia Arabia or UAE and most of his life being spent there he might be honoring someone from there by adapting the name "Arabian" Knight. I mean, it can be easily explained away.

So, what do you guys think? I know most people wouldn't care about this character but I think it would be really cool to introduce such obscure and lesser known characters into the MCU as well.
