Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars Will Be “Challenging,” Say Russo Brothers

Marvel fans eagerly awaiting Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars should prepare for a “challenging” experience, according to Joe and Anthony Russo. The director duo, known for their work on previous blockbuster MCU films, hinted at exciting yet difficult storytelling that will push both the audience and the filmmakers to new heights.
Key Highlights:
Russo Brothers Tease a Difficult but Exciting Storyline

During the world premiere of The Electric State in Los Angeles, Joe Russo spoke to Deadline about the upcoming Marvel projects, revealing that both films will be filmed back-to-back in London. “It’s all in London, we’re shooting them fairly back-to-back, it’s a lot of work again. We may or may not survive, we’ll see,” he joked.
Despite the challenges, Joe expressed excitement about the storyline, stating, “We discovered a technique to tell the story that we believe will be difficult for viewers, but it is difficult for us to carry out. And it motivates us to get out of bed to do it, which is extremely exciting for us.”
Will X-Men or Deadpool Join the MCU Avengers Movies?
When asked whether characters from the X-Men universe or Deadpool would appear in the upcoming films, Joe Russo sidestepped the question, saying, “Who knows? I’m not sure. I have no idea who we will see. I’m still unsure.”
Anthony Russo playfully teased fans, adding, “You can see anyone you want if you close your eyes and use your imagination.” He continued, “Whoever tickles your fancy.”
Joe further fueled speculation by stating, “Anyone in the Marvel bag could appear in this film.”
Robert Downey Jr. Returns as Dr. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday

One of the biggest reveals about Avengers: Doomsday is the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU, not as Tony Stark/Iron Man, but as Vincent Van Doom, aka Dr. Doom. This marks a major shift for Downey Jr., who previously played Iron Man for over a decade before his character’s death in Avengers: Endgame.
Dr. Doom is set to be the primary antagonist in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for a 2026 release. His presence is expected to have major ramifications across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Avengers: Secret Wars – The Grand Finale of the Multiverse Saga

Following Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel fans will witness the grand conclusion of Phase 6 with Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. This movie is expected to be a multiversal spectacle, wrapping up the Multiverse Saga and bringing closure to numerous storylines that have been set up in previous phases of the MCU.
The Russo Brothers’ previous success with Marvel films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, has made them fan favorites. Their return to the director’s chair promises an epic culmination to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s current saga.
With the Russo Brothers at the helm, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are shaping up to be groundbreaking entries in the MCU. The return of Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom, the mystery surrounding potential X-Men and Deadpool cameos, and the challenge of crafting a complex yet rewarding story make these films some of the most anticipated releases in Marvel’s future.
As the MCU Phase 6 builds toward its climax, fans can expect an intense, action-packed journey that redefines superhero cinema. Stay tuned for more updates on Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars as their release dates approach!
