Marvel fans, brace yourselves! The visionary duo behind Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Anthony and Joe Russo, are back to helm the next epic chapters of the MCU: Avengers Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). In a recent interview with Deadline, the brothers shared thrilling updates, creative hurdles, and cryptic teases about the upcoming films—confirming that these projects will push boundaries for both filmmakers and audiences.
Back-to-Back Filming in London
The Russo Brothers confirmed that shooting for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars is underway in London, with production running “fairly back-to-back.” Joe Russo humorously admitted the grueling schedule might test their limits: “It’s a lot of work again, we may or may not survive, we’ll see.” But their enthusiasm is palpable. The duo revealed they’ve crafted a narrative that’s as daring as it is demanding.
A Story That Challenges Everyone
The directors emphasized that their new approach to the Avengers saga will defy expectations. “We found a way into the story that we think is gonna be challenging for audiences, it’s challenging for us to execute,” Joe explained. While details remain under wraps, Anthony hinted at limitless possibilities: “If you close your eyes and use your imagination, you can see anyone you want. Whoever tickles your fancy.”
Will X-Men or Deadpool Join the Fight?
Marvel’s acquisition of Fox has fueled speculation about crossovers with X-Men or Deadpool. When asked, Joe played coy: “Who knows? Anybody in the Marvel bag could show up.” This vague tease has fans buzzing—could Secret Wars finally unite the MCU with mutants or the Merc with a Mouth?
Release Dates & Legacy
Mark your calendars:
- Avengers: Doomsday: May 1, 2026
- Avengers: Secret Wars: May 7, 2027
The Russos’ Marvel track record speaks for itself—from Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) to Endgame (2019), they’ve redefined superhero storytelling. Their return signals a bold new phase for the Avengers, blending high stakes, emotional depth, and universe-shattering twists.
Why These Films Matter
With Secret Wars adapting one of Marvel’s most iconic comic arcs, expectations are sky-high. The Russos’ commitment to “challenging” storytelling suggests multiverse chaos, legacy character returns, and stakes that dwarf Endgame. As filming continues in London, one thing is clear: the MCU’s future is in daring hands.
