The Russo Brothers Reportedly Overseeing MCU’s Mutant Saga After ‘Secret Wars’

by

Okay, so we’ve still got a couple of years before we see how Marvel’s Multiverse Saga wraps up with those final movies, but it sounds like the Russo Brothers – the guys who directed some of Marvel’s biggest hits – aren’t done with the MCU just yet. A new report suggests Kevin Feige is bringing them on board to help guide the upcoming X-Men storyline, which everyone’s calling the ‘Mutant Saga.’ Basically, they’ll be part of a new creative team overseeing things, even after the somewhat shaky ground of the post-Endgame era. It’s a smart move, honestly, bringing in that experience for what’s bound to be a massive undertaking.

Despite some recent projects like Netflix’s The Electric State receiving mixed reviews, Anthony and Joe Russo are best known for their incredible work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga, delivering the massive hits Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. They’re now returning to direct a new pair of Avengers films – Doomsday and Secret Wars – and it appears they’ll be heavily involved in shaping the future of the MCU, according to a new report.

After the Secret Wars event, Marvel is bringing back the Russo brothers as part of a creative team – the ‘Marvel Parliament’ – to help guide the overall story for the next major storyline. They’re aiming to learn from the Multiverse Saga, where they tried to juggle too many different plotlines and left several stories unresolved without a clear path forward.

One common criticism of recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects is that they haven’t fully explored the exciting potential of the multiverse, or have lacked a clear overall story arc. The reported involvement of the Russo brothers is expected to address these issues and ensure future projects are more focused and satisfying.

Can the Russo Brothers Make the MCU Great Again?

For nearly two decades, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has consistently delivered its best work when directed by the Russo brothers. That’s why recent reports about their continued involvement in future Marvel projects feel believable. According to Perez, they’ll be offering guidance on which characters appear and when, helping to shape the overall story.

As a huge movie fan, I’m really excited about what the Russos are doing next! They have an amazing track record with Marvel – everything they’ve touched, from the Captain America films to the epic Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, has been a success. Now, tackling the X-Men universe, it feels like these characters deserve a really thoughtful and respectful adaptation, considering how long they’ve been beloved on the big screen.

For several years, Marvel Studios has been hinting at the arrival of mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with characters appearing in shows like Ms. Marvel and the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Now, the X-Men are set to return in a big way over the next few years. The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday will feature the original X-Men team from the Fox films, including Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto, likely for a final appearance. They’ll be battling Doctor Doom alongside the Avengers.

After the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars movie, a new X-Men team is planned for their own film, currently scheduled for release in 2028. Jake Schreier, who is directing Thunderbolts, will also direct the X-Men movie. While details are still scarce, Marvel’s Kevin Feige has said the team will focus on younger characters, though no actors have been announced yet.

If the Russo brothers can successfully finish the Multiverse Saga, the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe looks promising as it transitions into stories about mutants. But if they don’t, it’s better not to dwell on the potential consequences.
