Russo Brothers in Negotiations for Direct Avengers Five and Six
The Russo brothers might be leading the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it gets ready for its next great event. Reportedly in early negotiations with Marvel Studios to direct Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars are Anthony and Joe Russo, the directors behind the highly praised and financially successful Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Given Phase 5 is under development and the Multiverse Saga is nearing its climax, this news is fitting. Particularly following the recent creative upheavals at Marvel Studios, the issue of who would oversee the last two installments of this story has been a divisive one. The Russos' possible comeback marks a possible homecoming for a directorial pair instrumental in forming the MCU's story.
Why Do the Russo Brothers Make Sense for Avengers 5 and 6?
There would be logical reasons for the Russo Brothers' participation in Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars. Having produced box office hits like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, which taken together earned a startling $6.681 billion at the global box office, their record with the MCU speaks for itself. Essential for an Avengers movie, they have shown a proven capacity to manage big action sequences, complex narratives, and a varied cast of characters.
MCU Familiarity
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known to the Russos rather well. Many of the performers expected to return for Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars have worked closely with them so they may naturally negotiate the current dynamics and build upon existing relationships. This familiarity can translate into a more coherent and emotionally relevant story.
The Finish of an Era
Considered as a soft reboot for the MCU, Avengers: Secret Wars marks the end of a chapter. The Russos, who helped define the previous phase, could offer a suitable end to this chapter. Their participation would provide consistency and let them lead the MCU into its next phase.
