Marvel Confirms Russo Brothers Directing Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have clarified that recent leaked concept art related to 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars' is not authentic and does not pertain to their films. The Russo brothers, known for their successful Marvel films, aim to adapt the 'Secret Wars' storyline loosely, drawing inspiration from both the original 1980s series and the 2015 reimagining. As they prepare to merge over 60 MCU characters across the multiverse, rumors suggest that the Thor Corps may be included in 'Secret Wars,' although this remains unconfirmed. The films are set for release on May 1, 2026, and May 7, 2027, respectively. The Russos emphasize their approach of creating their own version of the story while keeping the comics as loose inspiration. This strategy aims to maintain the franchise's successful adaptation style while tackling complex narratives.
