Russo Brothers Reveal ‘Secret Wars’ Comic Inspired Their ‘Avengers’ Return

The Russo brothers have revealed what Marvel comic inspired them to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after seemingly ending on a high note with Avengers: Endgame. At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, it was announced that Joe and Anthony Russo, known as the Russo brothers, would be returning to helm the two-part epic Multiverse Saga finale with 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday and 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. While the news was slightly undercut by the fact that it leaked online earlier and also upstaged by the revelation that Robert Downey Jr. would be Doctor Doom in the MCU, it was a big moment since the duo seemed to have put the MCU in their rearview mirror as they pursued other projects.
