Avengers: Doomsday
In a late interview withComicbook.com , the Russos responded to questions about the major expansions to the MCU that have occurred in the Multiverse Saga since they directedAvengers : Infinity WarandEndgame . To that close , Anthony Russo confirmed the counsel he and his blood brother are taking when it come toAvengers : Doomsday , which is rig to turn in 2026 :
“ Yes , the MCU has got quite large , that ’s for sure . I mean , frankly , we struggle with that same issue , but part of the reason Joe and I decided to go back is just what you ’re speak about . There needs to be more of a fundamental tale . That was something we were very specific about when we work with Marvel [ before ] . We would like to bring the focused narrative back . ”
Even from the most dedicated MCU fans , the consensus has been that the current Multiverse Saga is far more garbled with less coherence liken to the previous Infinity Saga . Keeping that in mind , the Russos ' professed desire to have a more focussed and central narration forAvengers : Doomsday(and presumablySecret Wars ) is very exciting to hear .
