Avengers Sequels: Russo Brothers Set to Resume Directorial Roles for Upcoming Installments
Title: Russo Brothers in Talks for Next Two Avengers Flicks: What's the Scoop?
Hey there! Let's dive into some juicy gossip about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to the reckoning of The Hollywood Reporter, the directorial duo behind some of your faves, like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, are in discussions to helm the fifth and sixth Avengers films.
Mind you, these movies were previously given the titles Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. But, as things stand, Marvel still hasn't figured out how to maneuver around the exit of Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, due to his tragic legal issues. Only time will tell if they'll change the title of Kang Dynasty to something else.
The talks between Marvel and the Russo Brothers are still in their initial stages, but it's a promising sign after a months-long quest to find new directors to replace Destin Daniel Cretton, who ditched Avengers 5 last year. Initially, it was thought that Shawn Levy, the director of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, might take the baton. But it seems Marvel wants to reconnect with a reliable team they've worked with in the past—similar to James Gunn, who returned to helm the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise after his departure from the studio.
As of now, Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars are slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027, respectively. So, comic book fanatics, mark your calendars!
