The Russo brothers have revealed what Marvel comedian impressed them to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after seemingly ending on a excessive word with Avengers: Endgame. At San Diego Comedian-Con 2024, it was introduced that Joe and Anthony Russo, often known as the Russo brothers, could be returning to helm the two-part epic Multiverse Saga finale with 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. Whereas the information was barely undercut by the truth that it leaked on-line earlier and in addition upstaged by the revelation that Robert Downey Jr. could be Physician Doom within the MCU, it was an enormous second because the duo appeared to have put the MCU of their rearview mirror as they pursued different tasks.
Talking with Empire, the Russos revealed what introduced them again to the MCU after 5 years away. “We’re very shut with Kevin and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] and your entire Marvel staff and we’ve had conversations by way of the years. We’ve talked about a number of concepts. Actually what occurred was, we ended up stumbling upon an concept that activated all of us,” he teases. “You couldn’t see it coming till it got here, and as soon as it got here, it was like, ‘Nicely, that’s a narrative we have to inform,” mentioned Anthony. Joe added, “There have been concepts that we have been attempting to wrap our heads round that preceded this one, and we simply by no means discovered the story.”
What clicked into place was when Joe Russo known as screenwriter Stephen McFeely, who’s penning each upcoming Avengers movies, and pitched him on how Secret Wars would look within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Joe mentioned:
“I keep in mind calling Steve and mentioned, ‘Hey, loopy thought. What do you suppose if all of us return and do Secret Wars?’ You [Stephen McFeely] have been like, ‘F— no. Completely not.’ And then you definitely hung up. And the following morning at 7.30 you known as and have been like, ‘Alright, I’ve an thought.’”
It seems that the directing duo seemingly had conferences with Marvel on different non-Avengers tasks, however when the spot turned open to helm Avengers: Secret Wars, the Russos latched onto that concept. This shouldn’t be stunning, because the Russos have made it identified they’d like to make Secret Wars way back to when Avengers: Endgame was being launched in theaters. The duo has been requested a number of occasions about it, and in 2021, they even appeared to be contemplating returning to the MCU to adapt the enduring comedian storyline. The movie by no means had a director hooked up, so this may need been within the works for a while and finalized when Destin Daniel Cretton stepped down from directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, which was reworked into Avengers: Doomsday.

Each have parts in frequent, together with heroes and villains transplanted to a makeshift world known as Battleworld, with a strong being of cosmic proportion instrumenting their battle and Physician Doom stealing the powers of mentioned cosmic deity. But the 2 storylines are very completely different in finer particulars.
Many have assumed Avengers: Secret Wars would seemingly undertake the 2015 model, with the emphasis on the multiverse and the MCU having referenced incursions in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity and The Marvels, which have been a big issue within the 2015 storyline. Nevertheless, the Russos themselves seemingly have extra familiarity with the 1984 comedian, which might have been revealed once they have been youngsters and studying Marvel Comics of their youth. In the meantime, the 2015 model was revealed between the administrators making Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil Battle. They have been seemingly studying it whereas prepping for Infinity Battle and Endgame, and it may have impressed them on the epic scope of their two-part Infinity Saga finale.
