JAKARTA - Directors Joe and Anthony Russo reportedly received offers to direct the two latest Avengers films. They are targeted to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

According to the THR report, they received an offer to direct Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty which is planned to air in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.

So far, discussions are still in their early stages so it is not yet known whether they will return to the directing chair. These two films will certainly close the series of Multiverse Saga and will link with the last two Avengers films.

The Avengers started in 2012 and continued with Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. Then the film Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Previously, it was reported that Shawn Levy was directing the Avengers 5 film but he refused. Destin Daniel Cretton also reportedly directed the film and rejected it because it focused on Shang-Chi 2.

Apart from the director, the scriptwriter also got a change of position. Jeff Loveness, who was originally appointed to write, was replaced by Michael Waldron.

Avengers: Endgame menjadi film Marvel dengan pendapatan terbesar dan kedua dalam sejarah hingga mencetak 2,7 triliun dolar AS di seluruh dunia.

After directing Avengers, Russo Brothers also directed several content on streaming platforms such as The Gray Man and Cherry. Both titles star Avengers alumni Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Tom Holland.

This news comes amid their latest project, The Electric State which is planned to air this year and stars Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, and Millie Bobby Brown.
