During the 2024 New York Comic Con, Anthony and Joe Russo discussed their highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Known for their work on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the Russo Brothers are reuniting with screenwriter Stephen McFeely (Electric State) to helm these new projects.
In their conversation, the Russos provided updates on the current status of Avengers: Doomsday. The script is being written by McFeely, who has worked closely with the Russos on past Marvel films, including Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). The directors revealed that production is set to begin in spring 2025, but they remained tight-lipped about specific filming locations, teasing that a decision has been made but not yet disclosed.
A significant part of the discussion centered on the scale of their upcoming films. The Russos hinted that Avengers: Doomsday will feature a large ensemble cast, akin to their previous titles. The brothers expressed their excitement about bringing new characters into the MCU, noting that introducing fresh faces to the franchise is one of the most thrilling aspects of their work. The conversation also touched on the films’ format, with the Russos confirming that IMAX is being considered for both movies, aiming to deliver an immersive experience.
Regarding the possibility of filming the movies back-to-back, as they did with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Joe Russo explained that while the two films will be shot in close succession, there will be a more substantial break between them this time around.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit theaters in 2026, marking another milestone in the Russos’ already impressive career within the Marvel Universe. As fans eagerly await more details, the brothers remain focused on crafting a story that promises to captivate audiences worldwide.
