“We’re in a rut of repetitive storytelling”: Russo Brothers Won’t be Coming to Save Marvel in Avengers 6 Because of ‘Franchise abuse’
The directors have proved that they can handle ensemble pieces with great conviction. WithInfinity WarandEndgame,they successfully balanced scale and spectacle along with emotional stakes. The upcoming Avengers films will be 10 times bigger than their previous efforts and they are the logical choice to direct them considering their track record with the MCU.

In an interview withVariety, Feige revealed that he never dreamt of being able to work with the Fox characters under Marvel Studios. When the acquisition happened, it was a big surprise for him and opened up a plethora of exciting possibilities for the future of the MCU. The Marvel head said,
It felt almost like destiny. I’ve been at Marvel for over 20 years now. All those Fox characters were ones I’d never dreamed of having back purely under the fold of Marvel Studios. So when that happened, it was a giant surprise and a huge opportunity. The Fantastic Four and X-Men alone make a colossal portion of our comic universe that we now have access to for films and shows.
TheX-Menfilm recently tapped its writer andFantastic Fourwill begin shooting later this month.Deadpool & Wolverineis expected to become one of the biggest MCU releases ever. It is indeed an exciting time for Marvel Studios and Feige is incredibly happy with the new properties from Fox he now gets to play with.
Deadpool & Wolverinehits theatres on August 03, 2025.
Avengers 5andSecret Warsare currently scheduled to release on August 13, 2025, and August 22, 2025.
