Endgame Directors Address Their MCU Return For Avengers: Doomsday And Secret Wars

Following their official return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the Russo brothers go into depth about what was needed for them to make a comeback to Marvel Studios.

In a new interview with GamesRadar, co-director Joe Russo disclosed more on what was required in order for him and his brother Anthony Russo to agree to return to the MCU to helm both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Russo made it clear that having Robert Downey Jr. back was a must-have for their deal to go through, as he shared the following:

Joe Russo: We're all very close. We had been working on another project before Marvel approached all of us – so we're working on another project with Robert – and there was a story that evolved through conversations that we got very excited about. Because it's always got to be the story. Why would we come back if we didn't feel like we had a story that had that possibility of being on an equal footing with Infinity War and Endgame unless there's a kernel there for an idea that's really explosive?
