Director, and filmmaker Anthony and Joe Russo have confirmed shooting for the upcoming Marvel films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The directors said both the movies are being filmed back-to-back in London. In a conversation with the media, Joe Russo shared that the production is intense but exciting for them.
“It’s all happening in London, and we are shooting both movies almost one after the other. It’s a huge workload, and honestly, we don’t know if we’ll survive it,” Joe said, jokingly. Further, he added, “But we’re thrilled about it. We’ve found a unique way into the story, something that’s tough to pull off and will also challenge the audience. That’s what keeps us motivated.”
When filmmakers were asked if the new Avengers films would include characters from the X-Men universe or Deadpool, Joe remained tight-lipped. All he said, “Who knows? I really don’t know. We could see anyone from Marvel’s vast lineup appear in these films”. His brother Anthony added in with a lighthearted comment, saying, “If you close your eyes and use your imagination, you can see whoever you want—whoever excites you the most.”
The Russo brothers are no strangers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They have previously directed four blockbuster films: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). Their work on Infinity War and Endgame was especially well-received, with Endgame becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
Now, they are returning to direct two more Avengers series, which are highly anticipated by fans. Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on May 1, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for May 7, 2027.
Marvel Studios has remained secretive about the storyline, and details about the characters involved are still under wraps. However, with the Russo brothers as director, fans can expect an epic continuation of the Marvel saga. Whether iconic heroes from past films return or new faces introduce, these movies are set to be major cinematic events. Avenger fans are on the edge.
