Avengers: Endgame director Russo Brothers are being eyed to direct Avengers 5 and Avengers 6.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios is in early talks with the director duo – the Russo brothers – to helm the upcoming two Avengers film.
The fifth Avengers movie was originally titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
However, it is now expected to get a new title and focus after Marvel cut ties with Kang actor Jonathan Majors.
No director is attached to the project yet, though filming is set to commence in early 2025 as recently confirmed by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Previously, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy was in discussions to helm the movie, but the deal fell through.
Now Marvel Studios is keen on not wasting any time and is seriously considering the Russo Brothers to lead the upcoming MCU tentpoles.
The Russo Brothers have directed several past MCU projects, including 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
Beyond their Marvel projects, Joe and Anthony Russo have directed and produced comedy series like Arrested Development, Community, and Happy Endings.
After Avengers: Endgame, they directed Cherry in 2021 and The Gray Man in 2022.
Their upcoming film, The Electric State, will be released on Netflix in 2024.
Marvel Studios’ Avengers 5 is currently scheduled to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.
