\n\tJoe Russo<\/a>, one-half of the directing duo behind \u201cAvengers: Doomsday<\/a>,\u201d recently told Metro<\/a> that he thinks spoilers are \u201cover-policed\u201d online to the point that fans are scared to engage with any material surrounding a film before it hits the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOn one hand, audiences want to be surprised, and that\u2019s part of what makes the theatrical experience exciting,\u201d Russo said. \u201cOn the other hand, it can become a little over-policed, where people are anxious about engaging with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cWe design these films to unfold in a certain way, and we want audiences to feel those moments as intended. But at the same time, you can\u2019t control everything. You have to focus on making something that holds up beyond the initial surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d feels a bit like a soft reboot for the MCU, in that it\u2019s Marvel<\/a>\u2019s way of returning to its days of box office glory after financial disappointments like \u201cCaptain America: Brave New World,\u201d \u201cThunderbolts*\u201d and \u201cThe Fantastic Four First Steps.\u201d In that pursuit, Marvel has assembled a who\u2019s who of franchise favorites, such as Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Letitia Wright (Black Panther) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique). They even brought back Robert Downey Jr. as the big Bad Doctor Doom after he died as Iron Man in 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDoomsday\u201d is slated for release on Dec. 18. Russo and his brother, Anthony, will also co-direct the sequel \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars,\u201d which hits theaters on Dec. 17, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Russo, one-half of the directing duo behind \u201cAvengers: Doomsday,\u201d recently told Metro that he thinks spoilers are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,22160,134,213206,6860,344],"class_list":["post-655063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-avengers-doomsday","tag-entertainment","tag-joe-russo","tag-marvel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
