With Thor: Love and ThunderAnd Ms. Marvel now available, we’ve now seen six MCU Phase 4 movies and seven Marvel Disney Plus shows. Marvel made every effort to not feature the Avengers in these projects in any meaningful way. There’s no Avengers 5Release is planned for the near future. But at least, we believe that Secret WarsIt could be the final chapter in the current saga.
Marvel is still planting the seeds for that story, and it’s not ready to reveal any firm details about the Avengers franchise. However, the fans are talking. And they’re wondering if the Infinity WarAnd EndgameThe project would be helmed by directors. The Russo brothers addressed this issue. Secret Wars: Avengers again. Beware, Below are some spoilers if you’re not up to date on the Phase 4 titles released so far.
What’s the difference between Secret WarsAnd Secret Invasion?
Marvel has finished principal filming Secret InvasionThe MCU Phase 4 title, titled, will be available on Disney Plus in the next few months. It’ll probably be out next summer, likely around the release of The Marvels.
Secret InvasionIt is likely to be the most ambitious Disney Plus Disney movie in the MCU, and one that could significantly impact the future of Disney. While the plot hasn’t leaked, the gist of the story is quite simple. It is possible that an alien race with shape-shifting abilities has infiltrated Earth, taking control of various characters. Even superheroes.
Secret WarsIt’s much more than that. It’s a massive crossover that will probably feature all the Avengers and heroes from any other groups that Marvel might want to introduce. It’ll likely be a conflict between worlds, with Doctor Strange 2 having already provided the way to start it — the incursions.
And this is how it should be put: Secret Wars: AvengersThis could be the endgame in the current phase. Secret InvasionWe are just the beginning of the journey.
Will the Russo brothers direct? Avengers 5?
AnthonyAnd Joe Russo are responsible for some of Marvel’s biggest successes. Infinity War and EndgameThe box office earned nearly $5 billion.
The Russos also made Captain America Civil WarIt earned $1.15 Billion at the box-office. It could easily have been part of the AvengersThe film features all of the Avengers’ top roles. And Civil War ties right into Infinity War.
With this in mind the Russos are first to mind when we talk about the directors. Avengers franchise’s future. They love each other, and it just so happens that they have spoken more than once about their love. Secret Wars.
That’s hardly a confirmation that the Russos will do Secret Wars: AvengersIt will be there when it is. Or you could do that Avengers 5It will be part of that story. The Russos continue to talk about a possible return to Marvel. It was just during the premiere The Gray ManTheir next Netflix title is titled.
They Talked to DeadlineAbout Marvel and said that Secret WarsThis is the comics series that they loved growing up. But the way Joe Russo framed everything makes it seems like they’re actually considering a Secret Wars movie.
“It’s incredibly ambitious, it’s bigger than Infinity War and Endgame, but it’s a massive undertaking,”Joe said. “Those two movies were very hard to make, so trying to imagine making two movies even bigger than those two? We’re gonna have to sleep on that.”
When will Marvel reveal its plans? Avengers 5?
Reports last year said the Russos and Marvel had been negotiating a new project, but the brothers were taken aback by Disney’s handling of Scarlett Johansson. Marvel is still likely to confirm this again in the coming months. Avengers 5.
However, Kevin Feige recently teased that Marvel will provide a few clues about where the story is heading. This month, we expect Marvel to be back at Comic-Con San Diego. That’s one place where Marvel could reveal some of the plans for the not-too-distant future. Then there’s D23 in September, which could be an even better venue to tease anything as big as Secret Wars: Avengers.
