Marvel: Will the directors of Avengers Endgame return to the MCU? – The Russos answer  

And the news they bring is not so pleasant

The directing duo of the Russo brothers is responsible for the historic success of Avengers: Endgame , which is still the 2nd most successful film of all time. With a great run of hits in the Marvel Studios universe and a strong place in the minds of Marvel fans, his return to the MCU should be a given. 

However, given the circumstances, it is not because the one project they have been saying for a long time that would make them return to the MCU was ” Secret Wars “. But we’ve known for months that Marvel didn’t lock them in for the epic finale to the Multiverse Saga, as they themselves responded that they didn’t sign a contract, denying what they were hearing. 

The news that Joe and Anthony Russo have about their possible return to the MCU is also not the most pleasant. 

Are they coming back or not soon? 

In a new lengthy interview with Variety where they talked about the whole thing, they couldn’t avoid the question about their future at Marvel. Joe Russo revealed that he and his brother have constant discussions to find the right timing and make the…comeback. However, something like this is not foreseen since with the projects they have in the works it will not happen for the next few years, at least don’t expect it this decade. 

“We’re always talking – we’ll have to see what works. We won’t be ready to do something with Marvel until the end of the decade.”

Somewhat dashing hopes of taking over the vacant directorial position of Avengers: Secret Wars , which we recently learned is being delayed. For its part, Marvel through Kevin Feige had hinted that he wants the Russos back in the director’s chair, it just won’t be Avengers: Secret Wars. 

With their recent solo successes thanks to the production company they keep AGBO they seem committed to their own projects, such as the very expensive Amazon series, entitled “Citadel” which cost more than $185 million , the sequels and prequels of ” The Gray Man ” -another hit for them on Netflix and many more. 

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will hit theaters on May 2, 2025. After its recent delay, Avengers: Secret Wars is slated for release  on May 1, 2026 .
