The MCU’s first 3 phases focused on the Infinity Saga. The saga lasted about 23 movies and the climax of the Saga was helmed by the Russo Brothers. These seemingly novices did a splendid job with directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Seeing the quality of their vision in that film, Marvel President Kevin Feigi entrusted them with the third Captain America film – Civil War. In that film, the Russo Brothers handled almost the all characters of the MCU, that to with ease. Handling every character’s separate tracks in a 2 hour confined film is not everyone’s piece of cake. I mean we saw what happened to Joss Whedon while directing Avengers: Age of Ultron. The outfall of Age of Ultron had put Marvel in search for a new director for their climactic end to the Infinity Saga.
Russo Brothers directing Civil War and managing each character very well acted as a saving grace for Marvel. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the two part finale for the Infinity Saga were helmed by the Russo Brothers and they were Marvel’s most successful films yet. Avengers: Infinity War grossed around $2.048 Billion worldwide while Endgame outdone everyone with its massive $2.7975 Billion box office haul. It beat Avatar to the race of the Highest Grossing Film of All Time. Although, Avatar regained its top spot back, it doesn’t take away any glory from Avengers: Endgame. However, after these two films the Russo Brothers took a well deserved break from the MCU and went onto direct Cherry, Extraction and The Gray Man.
So when Marvel announced two new Avengers films at SDCC’22, everyone was wondering who’ll be helming it? Well now we have an answer.
Avengers: Secret Wars and Avengers: The Kang Dynasty will have Different Directors?
Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton who has previously worked in the MCU as the director of Shang Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings. Destin is set to direct to Avengers: The Kang Dynasty however he’ll not be directing the supposed sequel to the film Avengers: Secret Wars. So unlike the Russo Brothers Destin won’t be directing both the films. However, this might also mean that Marvel is planning to do something dramatically different with two films. Maybe the number of characters vary or they’re just planning a different style of direction.
Justin Kroll, Deadline’s Senior Film Reporter tweeted this news via his Twitter handle, “I believe [Borys Kit] may have mentioned this in his scoop but it sounds like the plan is for Destin to direct Kang and a different director would helm Secret Wars unlike [the] Russos doing both Infinity and Endgame,”
