Downey isn’t the one individual returning for Avengers 5 both. Marvel confirmed on the panel that Joe and Anthony Russo — the administrators of Avengers: Infinity Warfare and Avengers: Endgame — can be returning to direct each Avengers: Doomsday and its sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars.
The information marks a radical change of plans for the movie from what Marvel initially meant. Marvel formally introduced Avengers 5 two years in the past, at San Diego Comedian-Con 2022. At the moment, the movie was dubbed Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, indicating that the film would deal with the time-traveling villain Kang, performed by Jonathan Majors.
However then Majors bought in bother with the legislation, and was fired by Marvel in December of 2023. Marvel quietly dropped The Kang Dynasty subtitle from the movie and commenced merely referring to the movie informally as Avengers 5. Throughout this era, the movie additionally misplaced its unique director, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Destin Daniel Cretton. Clearly, it’s a completely totally different venture now.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for launch on Might 1, 2026. Avengers: Secert Wars is scheduled to observe on Might 7, 2027. (It might be value noting that within the Secret Wars comics of some years in the past, the primary villain is … Physician Doom.) I believe that individuals are instantly going to be much more occupied with each of those movies.
