Russo Brothers Likely to Return to MCU: Avengers’ Next Big Bet?

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– After success with two Avengers movies, the Russo Brothers’ film Cherry with Tom Holland disappointed critics and audiences.
– The Russos are reportedly in talks to direct the next two Avengers films.
– Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is seen as a potential lead for the future of Avengers movies.
– Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for release on May 7, 2027.

The Magnificent Marvel Comeback of The Russo Brothers

Once upon a time, Joss Whedon had delivered the highest-grossing films of Marvel when he took an unexpected exit. The superhero franchise had to make a swift move. They found their superhero behind the scenes in the Russo Brothers for the subsequent two Avengers films. Transitioning from television to big screen success with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War, it was a no-brainer the Russos were the chosen ones to conclude the soaring Infinity Saga.

This gamble paid off handsomely for both Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the Russo duo. The Endgame series not only amassed a colossal fortune at the box office, it also garnered critical applause. However, this smooth ride hit a speed bump in 2021 when the Russos paired up with MCU’s Spider-Man for a crime thriller.

Russo Brothers, Tom Holland Reunion Ends in Box Office Disappointment

After bidding adieu to MCU, the Russo Brothers tried their luck with Netflix’s Extraction series, uniting them with Chris Hemsworth, another MCU star. But their attempt to recreate the magic with MCU’s leading man, Tom Holland, floundered. Their 2021 film Cherry failed to impress both critics and audiences.

Even though Holland’s performance was praised, Cherry wasn’t an artistic feat from the Russo brothers. The Tomatometer score reveals the stark contrast, with Cherry scoring a lackluster 37%, far removed from the near-perfect scores awarded for Endgame.

Anticipation Builds for Russo’s Return to MCU

Despite past setbacks, all eyes are on the Russos. With rumors swirling that they might call the shots for the next couple of Avengers movies, hope is high for them to reclaim their box-office crowns.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man As the New Avengers Torchbearer

The uncertainty surrounding Chris Hemsworth’s presence in future MCU installments has sparked speculation. Many fans believe that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man may be the next face of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. If talks are indeed happening between Russos and MCU, Tom Holland might be given the commendable task. Joe Russo hinted that Holland might fill in the shoes of Robert Downey Jr in the Infinity Saga.

Even as Russo brothers stated that they had their fill of the MCU with Endgame, they are reportedly being wooed to direct the next two Avengers flicks. The Russos have expressed a fondness for the Secret Wars storyline, which they once said could lure them back to the thrilling Marvel universe.

Coming up next is Avengers: Secret Wars, marked for a grand worldwide release on May 7, 2027. Despite a slip with Cherry, the Russo Brothers remain audience favorites, and the anticipation for the return is soaring. Marvel fans are eagerly waiting to see how they can whip up the Avengers magic once again. With the steady build-up, it’s safe to say the upcoming Avengers’ film is worth setting a calendar reminder for.
