AVENGERS: ENDGAME Director Joe Russo On Possibly Helming A DC Movie; Reaffirms Desire For A SECRET WARS Film
For over a year now, Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo have talked about their dream project of helming a Secret Wars movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the directors have previously indicated they will take a break from the superhero universe following Avengers: Endgame, Joe Russo reaffirmed that it would be the Secret Wars to draw them back to the MCU.
"I keep saying Secret Wars, cause that was one of the first books that I really fell in love with as a kid, was Secret Wars," Joe Russo said when asked by MTV News. "This notion of like, you know, event storytelling, and I think that’s part of the reason that we gravitate so strongly towards these event films and these ensemble films. The notion that like you can contain so many different characters, and so many different points of view, and galvanize them around a story point is really compelling to us."
Beyond the MCU, the directors were asked if they would ever consider helming a DC Universe film. While they didn't jump at the idea of entering the ring with DC, they didn't exactly rule it out either.
"I mean, our brains are so fogged at this point that I don't know we can consider anything," Joe responded. "But, you know, you never say, 'never.'"
