Speak toDeadlineAt the red carpet event “The Gray Man,”Joe Russo said that Anthony and he are very interested in doing a “Secret Wars”Marvel almost dared to grant them permission to complete a project of their own. He admitted, however, that there is a lot to do.
“Our love for Marvel is based on the books we read as kids, the books that we love,”The younger Russo agreed. “The one series that we adored growing up was Secret Wars. It’s incredibly ambitious, it’d be bigger than Infinity War and Endgame, but it’s a massive undertaking. And, you know, those two movies were very, very hard to make. So trying to imagine making another two movies even bigger than those two? We’re gonna have to sleep on it.”
Original “Secret Wars” crossover series that Marvel put out between 1984 and 1985 pitted the biggest heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe against one another in a 12-issue event that featured the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Magneto, Doctor Doom, and countless other characters. With all-caps text, the official title of the comic didn’t make it easy to read. “THE GREATEST MARVEL HEROES TAKE ON THE NASTIEST VILLAINS WITH EVERYTHING ON THE LINE!”.
Another “Secret Wars”StorylineIn 2015, a sequel was released with a similar premise. However, the heroes and villains came from alternate universes.
