Russo Brothers confirmed as directors of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars; Fantastic Four to be a part of these movies

San Diego Comic-Con 2024 will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a jaw-dropping climax to an already electrifying Hall H presentation, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige unveiled a bombshell that sent shockwaves through the fandom: the Russo Brothers are returning to the director’s chair for the next two Avengers films, and Robert Downey Jr. is set to reprise his iconic role as Iron Man, this time as the formidable Doctor Doom.

The Russo brothers, renowned for their work on blockbusters like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, will helm Avengers: Doomsday in May 2026 and the highly anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027. Their return to the MCU is a dream come true for fans who have been clamouring for their signature blend of epic storytelling and character-driven narratives.

 

 

 

 

The revelation that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU was met with thunderous applause and disbelief. The actor, who seemed to have gracefully exited the franchise as Iron Man in Endgame, is set to embody one of Marvel’s most complex and iconic villains, Doctor Doom. The casting choice is a bold and unexpected move that has ignited fervent speculation about how this iconic character will be reimagined for the modern era.

 

 

 

The Russo brothers' production company, AGBO, will partner with Marvel Studios on both films. Stephen McFeely, a longtime collaborator with the Russos, will pen the scripts. This reunion of the creative team behind some of the MCU’s most successful films is a testament to their enduring partnership and shared vision.

 

The announcement comes on the heels of news that Destin Daniel Cretton would be stepping down as director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty to focus on other Marvel projects. While this change undoubtedly disrupted initial plans, the introduction of the Russo brothers and the casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom has injected a new level of excitement and anticipation into the future of the MCU.

 

With the Fantastic Four set to make their debut in the MCU on July 25, 2025, and the Avengers saga continuing to unfold, Marvel Studios is clearly laying the groundwork for an epic collision of characters and storylines. The stage is set for a new era of Marvel, one that promises to be as groundbreaking and unforgettable as the Infinity Saga.
