Word is out that Marvel Studios might be chatting with the Russo brothers to direct Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. This comes from a new Marvel Cinematic Universe report. These are the same guys who made Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The Multiverse Saga is getting closer to wrapping up its big story, and right now we’re in the middle of Phase 5. Marvel Studios keeps building up to Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. People have been talking a lot about who will end up directing both movies after all the changes in the creative team over the past year.
The Hollywood Reporter says Anthony and Joe Russo might direct Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. Both movies haven’t had directors for over a year. The report mentions they’re in “early talks.” Marvel hasn’t said anything about this yet, but we might hear something official next week at the studio’s San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Why The Russo Brothers Are A Good Pick To
We don’t know yet if the Russo brothers will direct Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars, but it would make sense for a bunch of reasons. They’ve helped the MCU succeed since they started with Captain America: The Winter Soldier back in 2014. The movie did so well that they got to direct Captain America: Civil War and the last Avengers films in The Infinity Saga. Their MCU films have raked in a total of $6.681 billion at the box office. This shows they have an impact on the franchise’s success. It’s clear they know how to make movies that people want to see. Their track record speaks for itself. The MCU might want to keep working with directors who’ve proven they can deliver hit after hit. Plus, the Russos have experience handling big ensemble casts and complex storylines. These skills could come in handy for future Avengers movies. Still, we’ll have to wait and see what happens. The decision isn’t just about past success – there are other factors at play too.
Russo Brothers’ Marvel Movies
Captain America: The Winter Soldier2014$714.4 million
Captain America: Civil War2016$1.153 billion
Avengers: Infinity War2018$2.052 billion
Avengers: Endgame2019$2.798 billion
People say the Avengers: Secret Wars plot will kinda restart the MCU in the last Phase 6 movie. This means it’ll wrap up a big chunk of the franchise’s story. Since the MCU’s gonna look pretty different after Phase 6, it makes sense to bring back directors like the Russos to finish things off. A bunch of actors from other MCU films are coming back for Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. The Russo brothers have worked with many of these folks before, so they can use those old connections to make the movies even better.
The MCU’s focus on quality instead of quantity, plus its move back to what made The Infinity Saga so great, makes the possible comeback of the Russo brothers pretty exciting. If they agree to do it, filming might kick off in early 2025. With any luck, we’ll hear about them being involved with Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars at San Diego Comic-Con next week. This would be awesome news for fans to get their hands on.
