The Russo Brothers are potentially making their MCU return soon as reports revealed they are in talks to direct the upcoming Avengers movies.
For several months, MCU fans have been looking forward to the news on who might helm the next Avengers installments following Destin Daniel Cretton's exit as the fifth film's director.
So far, Marvel Studios remains mum on the details regarding their plans for Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, but they are expected to culminate the events of the Multiverse Saga.
Russo Brothers in Talks to Direct Avengers 5 and 6
It was recently reported that the Russo Brothers are in talks to direct the next Avengers movies.
This news comes as Marvel Studios has been doing their months-long search for the new filmmaker who will helm the highly-anticipated crossover team-up movies.
Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy was reportedly one of the top choices for the job, but he likely declined the offer to focus on other projects such as his untitled Star Wars movie.
As long-time MCU fans, the Russo Brothers have been a staple in the franchise since they helmed the last two Captain America and Avengers movies including Endgame, which is still the franchise's most successful film to date.
Since then, they haven't been involved in another MCU movie as they were more focused on their projects such as Netflix's The Gray Man and Extraction films.
The news regarding the Russo Brothers' potential MCU return has received mixed reactions from fans. Some of them were excited to see them make their comeback in the franchise.
Some fans are concerned about the Russo Brothers' potential MCU return as they deemed the choice too safe or a sign of desperation for Marvel Studios.
So far, Marvel Studios has not confirmed the Russo Brothers' hiring, but they will likely discuss it in their upcoming San Diego Comic-Con Hall H presentation.
The Russo Brothers are an interesting choice since it is a sign that Marvel Studios wants the Avengers movies to be under reliable hands that have a track record of pulling off a huge ensemble superhero film in the MCU.
For now, let's wait and see whether the Russo Brothers will officially sign on to the projects.
