Marvel boss Kevin Feige was recently asked to weigh in on the news of the Russo Brothers’ return to the MCU to helm Avengers 5 [previously called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty] and Avengers 6, aka Secret Wars. Feige joked about how several names always come up in the air for the Marvel projects, including Avengers movies.
Kevin Feige told Inverse, “No, I can’t comment on it except to say it was somebody else a couple of weeks ago, and I look forward to seeing who it is going to be next week. We’ll see.” With the San Diego Comic-Con coming up, it would be fantastic if Marvel Studios worked out a deal with the Russo brothers and announced it during the Hall H panel.
