Avengers: Endgame was a explosion at the box office like no other. The movie grossed $1.2 billion in its opening weekend and went on to gross 2.7 billion in its global run. So it was expected that the directors of the film, Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, would sign on to make more MCU movies.

But that’s quite not the case. The duo are currently focused on their production house and making movies for Netflix. But what about Marvel? In an interview with Variety, the Russo Brothers laid the MCU speculation to rest. They said:

“We’re always talking; we’d need to see what would work. We won’t be ready to do anything with Marvel until the end of the decade.”

By the end of the decade there will be more notable entries in the MCU’s pantheon of characters. Teams like The Fantastic Four and The X-Men will hopeful be established by then, and maybe the Russo Brothers can come in to direct a crossover of X-Men and the Avengers.

But the decade has just started and the MCU hasn’t even cast its Fantastic Four actors till now. So the dream of the Russo’s directing a mammoth MCU project again is just a pipe dream of fans.

What do you think? Which MCU project will the Russo Brothers direct again?
