In recent years, fans of the Marvel universe have been eager for a new Avengers installment. Despite varying opinions on the quality of Marvel's recent offerings, anticipation is high that upcoming team films might reignite enthusiasm. This excitement is fueled by the return of Joe and Anthony Russo, along with screenwriter Steven McFeely, for the forthcoming films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Recently, Anthony Russo shared that their return to Marvel wasn’t a straightforward decision. He reflected on how they initially viewed Endgame as the conclusion of their journey with the franchise. It took considerable time before they could shift their perspective toward possible new narratives.

Although their relationship with Marvel's leadership was strong, the brothers faced challenges in determining the direction of the story. Joe Russo mentioned that several concepts were considered but none resonated as they attempted to envision what would come next.

In a moment of inspiration, Anthony recalls proposing a bold idea to Steve McFeely, suggesting they revisit the concept of Secret Wars. Initially met with resistance, the tone shifted when Steve later reached out with a fresh perspective early the next morning.

Supporters will need to hold on until 2027 to learn more about this new idea. However, they can look forward to Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to premiere in 2026, promising more adventures with some familiar faces from the superhero team.
