The Russo brothers, known for their work on previous Marvel films, have been confirmed to direct two new Avengers films. The announcement was made at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con during Marvel’s Hall H panel. The films, titled Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, are set to be released in May 2026 and May 2027, respectively.
One of the most surprising aspects of the announcement was the news that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. This unexpected pivot comes after setbacks for Marvel’s previously announced Avengers film, The Kang Dynasty. The delay in The Kang Dynasty’s premiere, along with changes in director and writer, led to uncertainty surrounding the film’s future.
With Doctor Doom’s appearance coinciding with the arrival of the Fantastic Four in the MCU, it seems that Marvel may be planning a grand finale for its Multiverse Saga. The decision to bring in a character like Doctor Doom, who bears a resemblance to Iron Man, hints at a potentially explosive conclusion to the ongoing storyline.
The Kang Dynasty faced multiple challenges on its path to production, including delays, changes in creative team, and issues with cast members. These difficulties ultimately led to the sidelining of the project in favor of the new Avengers films directed by the Russo brothers.
As Marvel prepares to wrap up its Multiverse Saga, fans can expect to see familiar faces like Robert Downey Jr. returning to the screen. The inclusion of Doctor Doom and the impending arrival of the Fantastic Four signal a new chapter in the MCU’s storytelling, setting the stage for epic adventures and thrilling confrontations in the years to come.
