Is Marvel bringing back the Avengers? The Russo brothers are preparing new blockbusters
Hope for Marvel fans: The Russo brothers are coming back! It was recently revealed that directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who gave the world the cult films Infinity War and The End, are in talks with Marvel to create new installments of the popular franchise.
New Avengers movies in development?
While Avengers: Endgame was billed as the finale to the superhero team's story, it looks like Marvel has other plans. According to insiders, the Russo brothers are in early talks with the studio to produce at least two new blockbusters.
Probable release dates and working titles
One of the films may be released in 2026. Although the project does not yet have a final name, it previously went by the working name "Kang Dynasty". The second film, according to preliminary data, is scheduled for 2027 and has the working title "Avengers: Secret Wars".
"These films can be connected to each other, as was the case with the two-part story of Infinity War and The Finale.
Screenwriters and director changes
Director Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously worked on Dynasty Kahn, left the project in 2023. Instead, the studio offered the role to Sean Levy, known for "Deadpool and Wolverine", but he refused. Michael Waldron, the author of "Loki", will become the screenwriter of "Dynasty Kahn", while "Secret Wars" remains without a screenwriter.
What is known about the current projects of the Russo brothers?
The Russo brothers are currently in post-production on the sci-fi film The Electric State, starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown. The picture is expected to be released on the Netflix platform.
"Avengers: Endgame" became the second highest-grossing film in history, collecting $2.79 billion at the box office.
Prospects for the return of the Avengers
Amid news of a possible return of the Avengers, Marvel fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements. If all goes according to plan, the new movies could be another epic saga in the MCU universe.
