The Russo Brothers Will Not Direct Next Two Avengers Movies

The Russo brothers, directors of "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame", will not be directing "Avengers: Reign of Kang" and "Avengers: Secret War".

In an interview after the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con booth event, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige answered the question of whether the Russo brothers would return to the MCU to direct the next two "Avengers" movies.

Feige responded, "They're not going to be in either movie. I think they've made that very clear. We love them, they love us. We'd like to do something else together, but not this."

For several years, the question of whether the Russo brothers could return to the MCU to shoot a "Secret Wars" movie has never stopped, but they have always been cautious in their answers and never gave a definite answer. Recently, they expressed their love for "Secret Wars" and said that it is a series they "have loved since they were young."

The "Secret Wars" comic book series was first published in 1984. It brought together the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four to fight against alien threats. A symbiote, which later became Venom, also appeared in this event.

"Avengers 5: Kang's Reign" will be released on May 2, 2025, and "Avengers 6: Secret War" will be released on November 7, 2025.
