Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars 'A New Beginning' for the MCU, Russo Brothers Say

Author : Eric Update:Mar 18,2025

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is taking shape, with directors Anthony and Joe Russo hinting at a significant departure for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars from their previous work on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. In an interview with Omelete, the Russo brothers described the upcoming Avengers films as a "new beginning," laying the groundwork for Phase 7 and beyond. Joe Russo emphasized the shift from concluding a narrative arc to initiating a new one, stating, "We told an ending story [with Infinity War and Endgame], and now we're going to tell a beginning story. Who knows where we’ll go from there?"

The Russos also discussed their return to the MCU, explaining that a fresh creative idea spurred their involvement. Anthony Russo highlighted the importance and novelty of the story, emphasizing the strong collaborative team assembled for these projects. He acknowledged the pressure surrounding Doomsday, given the expectation it will revitalize theatrical viewership post-pandemic. Interestingly, the brothers revealed that Marvel producer Kevin Feige's suggestion to bring back Robert Downey Jr. for Doomsday initially met with resistance due to a lack of a suitable storyline. However, a compelling idea from Endgame writer Steve McFeely ultimately changed their minds.

Joe Russo offered a cryptic insight into the films' direction, stating, "The only thing I’ll say about the movie is this: we love villains who think they’re the heroes of their own stories. That’s when they become three-dimensional and they become more interesting." He emphasized the importance of crafting compelling, well-developed characters, particularly given the involvement of an actor like Robert Downey Jr.

Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on May 1, 2026, with Secret Wars following in May 2027.

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently hinted at the introduction of X-Men characters in upcoming MCU films, promising that fans would see "some X-Men players that you might recognize." He further emphasized the significant role the X-Men will play in the MCU's future, particularly after Secret Wars, describing it as leading to "a new age of mutants and of the X-Men." Feige highlighted the long-term planning involved, contrasting it with the approach to Avengers: Endgame. He confirmed the X-Men's crucial role in the post-Secret Wars narrative. Storm's appearance in What If...? Season 3 marked a first step in integrating these characters into the broader MCU. With three untitled Marvel movie projects scheduled for 2028 (February 18, May 5, and November 10), speculation is rife that at least one will feature the X-Men.
