Russo Brothers in Early Talks to Direct the Next Two AVENGERS Movies


With San Diego Comic-Con right around the corner, surely this news was trying to be saved for Marvel Studios' big Hall H panel on Saturday of the big event. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Russo Brothers, who directed CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, and AVENGERS: ENDGAME, are in early talks to return to direct the next two Avengers movies.

THR writes:

"Joe and Anthony Russo are assembling a team — once again.

"The Russo Bros. are in early talks to return to Marvel Studios to direct not just one, but the next two Avengers movies, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

"The hiring ends a months-long, high stakes search by the studio for filmmakers to oversee the fifth and sixth Avengers movies. Multiple names were in contention, including Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, who was offered the gig. Sources say the talks are in the early stages."

This is huge for the studio, and while it's being reported they are in early talks, it seems like the deal could be pushed through in time for Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation next weekend.
