The Russo brothers closed the Marvel Infinity Saga in style with the duo ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’, the epic and colossal result of the first decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then, the filmmakers have moved on and been involved in numerous projects as directors and producers, but despite being two of the busiest men in Hollywood, they don’t seem to completely close the doors to a possible return to Marvel Studios in the future.
Joe and Anthony Russo have been questioned many times if they are willing to return to face the grand finale of the new UCM saga, which is still kept under the strictest of secrets. During the promotion of their new movie for Netflix, the action thriller ‘The Invisible Agent’, the topic has resurfaced and, once again, the Russos seem willing to consider a return to Marvel in the future, although for now forget it. in the air.
With Phase 4 already well underway (we’ve had six movies and seven series in less than two years), many wonder where this new phase of Marvel is headed, where the Multiverse has become a clear common bond, but where the wires still seem very disconnected. The most insistent rumor is that the new Marvel saga is inevitably heading towards ‘Secret Wars’one of the most emblematic comic arcs, published between 1984 and 1985, in which all the multiversal plots would converge, including the X-Men, Deadpool or the Fantastic Four.
For now we are still in speculative territory, but the Russos are very clear that, if indeed ‘Secret Wars’ were to end up being the grand finale of the new saga, it would be even bigger and more ambitious than “Endgame”. This was expressed in an interview with Deadline during the premiere of “The Invisible Agent”, where Joe explains the following about it: “Our love for Marvel is based on the comics we read as children and the books we fell in love with. One show we loved growing up was ‘Secret Wars’ was ‘Secret Wars’. It’s incredibly ambitious. It would be bigger than that. ‘Infinity War “and” Endgame “. But it is a huge undertaking. Those two films were very difficult to make. So, trying to imagine making two more movies even bigger than that … We will have to sleep on it”.

Although it is early to know if the current saga (still without an official name) will lead to ‘Secret Wars’, at least we already have evidence that the Russos do not rule out the possibility of repeating the feat. Meanwhile, Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, has a message for the impatient who want to know where the MCU is headed currently: “We will be a little earlier in the coming months to set up a plan so that viewers who want to know the master plan can see a small portion of the itinerary.”.
They ended up exhausted, rightly so
It is logical that the Russos have to think about it for a long time before accepting a challenge like ‘Secret Wars’, which surely would also be divided into several films and would reach a scale never seen before. Speaking recently with GQ, the brothers reveal an experience such as directing “Infinity War” and “Endgame” back to back “not good for your health”. “It was hard”Antonio’s details. “I remember in the end we all said to ourselves ‘I will never make two movies like this in a row in my life'”.
Another director who knows a lot about ambitious projects is Zack Snyder, for whom the Russo brothers have only good words. In another interview with Wired, they were asked what “Justice League” would be like if they directed itto which Antonio replied: “I don’t know how to answer. Look at the ‘Snyder Cut’. This is the final cut. Just look.”.
“The Invisible Agent” is already in theaters and the next one will arrive on Netflix July 22nd. On the other hand, the Russos are responsible for producing Disney’s live-action remake of “Hercules”, which continues to advance, and the sequel to “Tyler Rake”, among many other projects.
