\n\tAnthony and Joe Russo<\/a> briefly paused work on their twin Marvel<\/a> projects, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, last week when they passed by Deadline\u2019s live studio at SXSW London<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Russos were joined by Fortnite creator Donald Mustard<\/a>, who also now serves as a partner at the duo\u2019s AGBO studio, and the trio confirmed they are currently in post-production on Avengers: Doomsday and pre-production on Avengers: Secret Wars ahead of respective planned releases in December 2026 and December 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the two films are the fifth and sixth Marvel titles directed by the Russos, they also mark the first time their AGBO label has been credited as a co-producer alongside Disney and Marvel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur relationship with Marvel has been built over many years now, and there\u2019s been a very fruitful relationship,\u201d Joe Russo said. \u201cWe\u2019ve done some of our best work with Marvel. We really value the relationship, and I think they really value what we have brought to the MCU.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Russos have been dropping teasers about their upcoming Avengers titles online for some weeks now, and during SXSW the filmmakers launched a Doomsday-themed pop-up coffee shop featuring souvenir Dom Latveria coffee beans. Latveria is the fictional homeland of Marvel\u2019s Doctor Doom, who will be played by Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming movies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe interplay with the audience is critical,\u201d Joe Russo said, adding that the reason he and Anthony returned to direct two more Avengers movies is because they \u201clove the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe love the audiences experiencing these movies, and we\u2019ve had friends tell us how important it was for them to have those experiences on opening night with cheering crowds in a theatre,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d argue that storytelling is the last unifier we have, and we must maintain it. It\u2019s important that we lift up all stories and that we support all stories. Because there could be a future where there are no stories. We just want to create another really big tent and invite as many people around the world into that tent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
