Title: Russo Brothers Reveal Their Motives for Returning to the Avengers Franchise
Netflix's forthcoming sci-fi action film, "Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, has stirred excitement. The Russo Brothers, fresh off "Avengers: Endgame," are returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to an irresistible story idea.
In a discussion with Empire, Anthony Russo shared, "Endgame was the end, and it took a bit to think of it as something else." After "Cherry" and "The Grey Man," their ventures outside the Marvel realm led them back to the universally acclaimed franchise for the next two "Avengers" productions.
Anthony Russo further explained that they share a close bond with Kevin Feige and the Marvel crew. They've had conversations over various concepts, but the ultimate inspiration came from an unexpected place.
The fallout of Destin Daniel Cretton's departure from "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" opened the door for new opportunities. Cretton shifted focus to projects like "Wonder Man," "Sony's Spider-Man" sequel, and "Naruto."
The Russo Brothers seized this moment to shake up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing their tantalizing concept to fans at the 2021 San Diego Comic-Con. Robert Downey Jr.'s appearance revealed the mind-blowing twist – "Doctor Doom" with Tony Stark's visage! We're pondering whether he'll sport the mask the entire time. Imagine the enigma of an adversary with the face of our beloved, presumed fallen Avenger.
Joe Russo reminisced about their earlier attempts to craft a satisfying narrative. "We struggled to find an idea before this one," he admitted. Joe's phone call to Steve McFeely changed everything. He proposed a daunting challenge – reinventing "Secret Wars." Surprisingly, McFeely was initially skeptical, promptly quipping "no way."
However, after some time, McFeely resurfaced with an intriguing proposition. "Yeah, I've got an idea," he replied, altering their perspective.
Marvel enthusiasts can anticipate the releases of "Avengers: Doomsday" on May 1, 2026, and "Avengers: Secret Wars" on May 7, 2027.
