The Russos think the Doomsday and Secret Wars movies can top Infinity War and Endgame, or they would not have returned. That was the view of the director siblings when GamesRadar caught up with the Russos at MCM Comic-Con 2024.
They started by talking about star Robert Downey Jr. who of course returns to the MCU as Doctor Doom. Joe Russo explained how this twist came about organically through the bond he and Anthony share with Downey Jr.
“We’re all very close,” says Joe. “We had been working on another project before Marvel approached all of us – so we’re working on another project with Robert – and there was a story that evolved through conversations that we got very excited about. Because it’s always got to be the story.”
“Why would we come back if we didn’t feel like we had a story that had that possibility of being on an equal footing with Infinity War and Endgame unless there’s a kernel there for an idea that’s really explosive?”

Teases are all we are going to get about the stories from these movies. Well, until the genuine leaks begin. For now though, pre-production, I’m always wary of any rumors. They may be legit leaks, but they also may get changed.
What seems clear is that the Russos are getting to tell the story they want, with the characters they want. Infinity War and Endgame were a magnificent combo of movies. It will be interesting to see if Doomsday and Secret Wars really can top those critical and box office smashes.
