AVENGERS: ENDGAME Directors Say There Are "Always Conversations Going On" With Marvel Studios

Could we see Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo return to helm another project at Marvel Studios at some point? It certainly sounds like something the brothers would be interested in...

For many, the movies Joe and Anthony Russo helmed for Marvel Studios stand out as being among the very best the superhero genre has to offer, and fans are chomping at the bit to see them return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The brothers have a very busy schedule ahead, but they definitely seem open to the idea of signing on to direct another Marvel film at some point... as long as the "right project" comes along.

While speaking to ComicBook.com about Extraction, Joe Russo was asked about a potential return to The MCU, and said there are "always conversations going on" with the studio heads.

"We talk to Kevin [Feige] and [Marvel Studios co-president] Lou [D'Esposito] all the time at Marvel. They're all friends of ours. Texting, seeing how everyone's doing. We get together with Lou for regular dinners once a month and there's always conversations going on. I think, you know, when we all land on what the right project is for us all to team back up on, we'll jump in feet first for sure."

What could that project be? The Russos have expressed interest in working on a Secret Wars movie in the past, but even if there has been talk at Marvel of adapting that hugely ambitious story, it's most likely just that. After the massive success of Endgame, one would assume that Feige and co. would be angling to get Joe and Anthony back on board the Avengers franchise for a fifth installment, but who knows what the Marvel maestro has up his sleeve.

Which Marvel movie or character would you most like to see The Russo Brothers tackle next? Let us know in the usual place.

I would say that Secret Wars would probably be "unfilmable" due to the amount of characters, as well as the size and scope of the story; but after IW and Endgame, I'd say the Russos' are among the very few directors who could pull it off.

@Feralwookiee - I think the only way to film Secret Wars would be for it to be it's own trilogy in the style of IW and EG back to back to back! Would be one hell of an event with plenty of room for character development.

@LongMayHeReign - Secret Wars has to span multiple movies. I'm thinking a 5 film arc spanning Captain Marvel 3, Black panther 3, doctor Strange 3, Avengers 5 and 6.

And they would need the Russo brothers to oversee each film.

Avengers Vs X-Men
Hulk Vs Wolverine
X-Men
Fantastic Four
Silver Surfer
Nova

These are pretty much all they to be talking about.

@marvel72 - No. The movie they need to be talking about is a live action spider verse film. The only film that can truly be an Avengers level film without any Avengers. Maybe Doctor Strange for "fixing" the interdimensional rifts.

Rewatched Endgame on Disney+ and loved it just as much.
Always been Team Cap, and glad he got some great moments and a happy ending.

Secret Wars. Once X-Men and FF, and especially Dr. Doom are established, an [extended] cameo by some of the original 6 in any past form could easily be set up with the Beyonder's power.
