New Avengers: Doomsday Update Will Change Fans’ Minds About the Russo Brothers’ MCU Return

by

A new development regarding Avengers: Doomsday is likely to shift public opinion about the Russo Brothers potentially returning to direct Marvel movies. After a five-year break from the superhero world, Joe and Anthony Russo are now working on the next Avengers film, Avengers: Doomsday. Although they were highly praised for Avengers: Endgame, the Russo Brothers haven’t had as much success with their projects in recent years.

Since directing their last Marvel movie, the Russo brothers have made three films that have been poorly received, averaging just 32.3% on Rotten Tomatoes. This has made some fans, who previously loved their work on Infinity War, worried about whether they’ve lost their creative spark, or if their skills were simply best utilized within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Okay, so I’ve been hearing some doubts about the Russos’ next Marvel project, but a recent report might just change some minds. Apparently, Avengers: Doomsday is really coming together, and insiders are saying it looks incredible. According to Daniel Richtman, it’s visually more impressive than anything the Russo brothers have done in the MCU so far. That’s a pretty bold claim, but it definitely has my attention now!

“I have heard ‘Doomsday’ looks way better visually than the Russos’ other Marvel films.”

Because the Russo brothers’ Marvel movies are often seen as their strongest work, their upcoming 2026 Marvel team-up film could be one of their best projects yet.

With rumors suggesting Marvel wants to continue working with The Russo Brothers after their upcoming films, Doomsday could be their chance to recapture the success they had with Endgame in 2019. Reports indicate Marvel may want to keep them involved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe beyond Doomsday and Secret Wars.

The new movie, Avengers: Doomsday, brings back both the directing duo the Russo Brothers and Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This time, however, Downey Jr. won’t be playing his iconic role as Iron Man. Instead, he’ll be taking on the part of the main villain, Doctor Doom.

The upcoming movie features Marvel’s biggest heroes teaming up with characters from alternate universes to stop the evil Victor Von Doom from taking over everything. It’s called Doomsday and will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.

Will Avengers: Doomsday Redeem The Russo Brothers For Fans?

Even though reports suggest Avengers: Doomsday will be the most visually impressive Marvel Cinematic Universe film yet, many fans remain unconvinced, considering the Russo Brothers’ recent work.

To be honest, the Russo brothers haven’t had much success with their films since Endgame. None of their three movies released after the big finale to the Infinity Saga have been well-received by critics, with two of them scoring below 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is concerning for fans who are wondering what they’ve accomplished recently.

Despite past challenges, the upcoming Doomsday film could be a major turning point for the team. The way Avengers 5 is being developed strongly resembles the structure of Avengers 3 and 4. Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the script is being written by the same team – Markus and McFeely – who previously worked on successful films like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame.

The Russo brothers are leading the charge on Avengers: Doomsday, but the team working with them has a strong track record of creating excellent comic book movies. Hopefully, the last few projects were just a temporary dip in form for Joe and Anthony Russo, and Doomsday will show everyone what they can really do as the acclaimed directors behind the MCU’s biggest hits.
