Zack Snyder Comments On The Russo Brothers Returning To Marvel For The Next Two Avengers Movies

Marvel Studios made a big splash at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con by revealing that Robert Downey Jr. will play Doctor Doom in the newly-titled "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars." Additionally though, it was confirmed that directors Joe and Anthony Russo are also returning to the MCU to helm this pair of upcoming Marvel movies. Like Downey, they made their initial MCU exit back in 2019 when "Avengers: Endgame" was released, but now they’re back to pick up the directorial reins, and Zack Snyder, a filmmaker with his own superhero media experience, commented to CinemaBend about the Russos tackling the next two "Avengers" movies.

Snyder, of course, was one of the key architects of the DC Extended Universe, having directed "Man of Steel," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and the original iteration of "Justice League," with the four-hour cut of that latter project being released to people with a Max subscription in 2021. While speaking with Snyder on the ReelBlend Podcast about the director’s cuts of the "Rebel Moon" movies that will arrive to Netflix subscription holders on August 2 2024, and our own Sean O’Connell asked him what he thought about the Russos returning for "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars."
