Sometimes you got to stick with what works.
After years of attempting to find directors who could follow what Joe and Anthony Russo did in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios have gone back to the Russos and convinced them to return for two more.
"When we directed Avengers: Endgame, Joe and I really believed it was the end of the road for us in the Marvel Cinematic Universe," Anthony Russo says during Marvel Studios' Hall H panel at San DIego Comic-Con 2024. "That four movie run was incredible, and it left us creatively spent."

The fifth Avengers movie, previously subtitled Kang Dynasty, has been revamped as Avengers: Doomsday, with Avengers: Secret Wars to follow.
