Although Joe and Anthony Russo have delivered what many followers would think about a few of the greatest films the MCU has to supply with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil Warfare, Avengers: Infinity Warfare and Endgame, their tasks outdoors the Marvel Studios system have not been wherever close to as profitable.
The Russos’ most up-to-date film, Netflix’s The Electrical State, was panned by critics (it is sitting at an abysmal 15% on Rotten Tomatoes) and debuted to fairly low viewership numbers on the streamer.
In accordance with a current rumor, The Electrical State‘s reception has led to Marvel higher-ups questioning the choice to rent the Russo Brothers to direct Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Some dismissed the report – in any case, the studio will have already got been properly conscious that the filmmakers did not have the perfect non-MCU observe report – however one other supply has now backed up this declare.
Daniel Richtman has heard that “Kevin Feige has considerations concerning the Russos directing the following two Avengers movies. Nevertheless, at this stage changing them isn’t an choice, so he plans to carefully oversee the tasks, making certain the script is excellent and the whole lot stays on observe. He’ll be far more hands-on than ever with them.”
The Electrical State – which was additionally co-written by Doomsday and Secret Wars scribe Stephen McFeely – had a reported manufacturing price range of over $300 million (imagine it or not), so we’ve got no downside believing that Feige is no less than a bit of involved and intends to maintain a really shut eye on how these large occasion movies are progressing.
No matter you could occur to consider their different films, Joe and Anthony Russo have carried out some unbelievable work with Marvel Studios, so we will solely hope that they’re going to be capable of recapture a few of that outdated magic for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Cameras are scheduled to start rolling on Doomsday subsequent month within the UK, and units are presently below building. We have not seen any images (nothing revealing, no less than) but, however a number of actors have been noticed in London over the previous few weeks.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on Could 1, 2026, adopted by Avengers: Secret Wars on Could 7, 2027. Each movies will probably be directed by the Russo brothers, who additionally make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil Warfare, Avengers: Infinity Warfare and Avengers: Endgame.
“With the ability to create tales and discover characters throughout the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we found a robust reference to audiences in every movie that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate as soon as once more with Kevin, Lou and all the Marvel crew to carry this epic journey in storytelling to new and stunning locations for each the followers and ourselves”, stated The Russos in an announcement after the SDCC panel.
