Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Joe and Anthony Russo, who propelled “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame” to stratospheric box office heights, may return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The filmmaking brothers are in early talks to direct 2026’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which will conclude this stretch — known as the Multiverse Saga — of the MCU.
The films will presumably be connected, à la the two-part story of 2018’s “Infinity War” and 2019’s “Endgame.” Marvel Studios had been looking for filmmakers to tackle the ambitious back-to-back tentpoles after Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) departed “Kang Dynasty” in 2023. “Deadpool & Wolverine” director Shawn Levy was offered the gig but apparently passed on the projects. “Loki” creator Michael Waldron was recently hired to write the screenplay for “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” while “Secret Wars” doesn’t have a screenwriter attached at the moment.
Beyond the search for directors, the status of “Kang Dynasty” and “Secret Wars” has been a subject of speculation. That’s because Jonathan Majors has already played multiple versions of the titular supervillain Kang — the Thanos of this phase of the MCU — on the Disney+ series “Loki” and last year’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” But Marvel cut ties with Majors after the actor was found guilty of domestic harassment and assault.
