The Marvel Cinematic Universe has decades of source material to pull from, but its films and shows have always taken a loose approach to adapting the comics. Aside from a few head-scratching choices, that’s made for a successful franchise, and the Russo brothers — returning to direct after a five-year break from Marvel — intend to keep that winning streak alive with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
The Russos have directed some of Marvel’s most well-regarded films. From Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Avengers: Endgame, the directing duo and their collaborators have a healthy respect for the comics, but they also know just how to seamlessly adapt those stories for the big screen. That said, Doomsday and Secret Wars may present a challenge for the Russos, especially the latter. The films won’t just bring together over 60 MCU characters; they’ll also merge disparate parts of Marvel’s vast multiverse.
