It was the year 2018 when Thanos snapped half of the people on Earth in Avengers: Infinity War. The film (directed by the Russo brothers) ended on a mega cliffhanger.
Millions of fans had to wait for a year before they were introduced to Avengers: Endgame. Although the death of Tony Stark was enough to make people cry, Joe and Anthony Russo have revealed that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will not go down the same path.
Avengers: Doomsday & Avengers: Secret Wars Will Be Shot Differently
For those unversed, many films are not shot linearly at all. Some projects (like How I Met Your Mother) were shot non-linearly for various reasons. If it’s a long project, you don’t want the characters to age so you shoot the ending first.
For Joe and Anthony Russo, that was never a problem in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The directors had shot Avengers: Infinity War first and then started their work on Avengers: Endgame.
However, a recent tweet on social media X, states that the same treatment won’t be given to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The films will not be shot back-to-back.

In an interview with GamesRadar+, the Russo brothers sat down for a chat, and during their talks, Joe Russo had some formidable words to say. From the talks of it, it seemed that the Russo brothers might not just return to the MCU.
The intention is that we want to build our own Star Wars. For us, it’s all about the focus on original storytelling and new ideas. If anything, there’s been too much. I mean, I think you could argue we’re in a rut of repetitive storytelling and potential franchise abuse.
He continued,
So, at a certain point, I think the audience is craving new ideas and new stories. And that’s where all of our focus is going post-Marvel – asking ‘what are those new stories?
However, the brothers were soon announced to be back in the MCU to direct some projects for the cinematic universe. As far as the world is concerned, the Russo brothers are back and the MCU could shine again.
