Avengers: Doomsday: The Russo Brothers Spill The Beans On Their Epic MCU Return

Avengers Doomsday helmers, The Russo Brothers have dropped exciting hints about their highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and their recent interview with Collider has fans buzzing with anticipation.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, known for helming Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, shared intriguing details about Avengers: Doomsday and its follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars, during a conversation promoting their latest film, The Electric State.

Set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, Avengers: Doomsday promises to be a monumental chapter in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, and the Russo Brothers’ insights offer a glimpse into what’s next for Marvel’s heroes.

What Did the Russo Brothers Reveal About the Runtime of Avengers Doomsday?

In their Collider interview, Joe and Anthony Russo provided an estimated runtime for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Joe Russo confidently stated, “If I were a betting man, I would say the first one is two and a half, and the second one’s three hours.”

This aligns closely with the runtimes of Infinity War (149 minutes) and Endgame (182 minutes), suggesting that Avengers: Doomsday will clock in at approximately 150 minutes, while Secret Wars could extend to around 180 minutes. This indicates another epic, sprawling narrative designed to captivate audiences for hours.

How Are the Russo Brothers Preventing Spoilers for Avengers Doomsday?

The Russo Brothers emphasized their strict approach to preventing spoilers for Avengers: Doomsday. Joe Russo told Collider, “We’re pretty good about shutting that down,” while Anthony added, “We’ve sort of strategized to hopefully be effective with that.”

They revealed plans to film much of the movie on soundstages to limit paparazzi interference, with Joe noting, “We don’t want people getting photographs, so we are being pretty stringent.” For location shoots, they’ve carefully selected sites to minimize leaks, ensuring surprises remain intact for audiences.

Who Might Appear in Avengers Doomsday According to the Russo Brothers?

While keeping specifics under wraps, the Russo Brothers hinted at a “comprehensive view of the MCU” for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. In a separate interview with TechRadar, Anthony Russo cryptically noted, “We take the comprehensive view of the MCU.

So, without getting into anything more specific than that, this is the universe we’re telling a story within. You can read into that what you like.” This suggests potential appearances by Disney+ heroes like Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, or Wiccan, alongside major players like Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and possibly Chris Evans in a yet-to-be-revealed role.

What’s the Production Timeline for Avengers Doomsday?

The Russo Brothers shared that production for Avengers: Doomsday will begin in London next month, with Anthony Russo describing it as “a standard-length shoot” of about six months. Joe confirmed, “So, six months for each of them,” indicating that Secret Wars will follow a similar timeline starting in the summer of 2026.

This rigorous schedule reflects their commitment to delivering two massive MCU blockbusters, with Avengers: Doomsday premiering on May 1, 2026, and Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.

Some Closing Thoughts:

The Russo Brothers are indeed setting the stage for an unforgettable MCU event, blending their signature storytelling with tight security measures and a massive scope.
