Are Avengers: Doomsday And Secret Wars Being Filmed Back To Back? Here’s What The Russo Brothers Say

As a longtime Marvel fan and avid gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating through virtual realms and battling digital villains, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation that borders on exhilaration about the Russo Brothers returning to direct the next two Avengers movies. Their previous work on Infinity War and Endgame left such an indelible mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, setting new benchmarks for storytelling and visual effects in blockbuster films.


If anything could have further ignited the excitement among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for future Marvel films, it was the news that the Russo Brothers will once again take the director’s chair for the next two Avengers movies, following their successful work on Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, two of the highest-grossing films ever made. While many aspects of the upcoming movies may echo the structure of previous Avengers films, it seems that the production schedule will differ significantly.

The upcoming films titled “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” have been set for release a year apart, similar to “Infinity War” and “Endgame.” Contrary to earlier productions, the Russo Brothers shared with Collider that these movies won’t be filmed consecutively as the previous Avengers films were. As per Joe Russo…

The gap between the two films will be more substantial compared to what we had earlier, perhaps around four weeks. Is that how long it was between Infinity War and Endgame?

It’s quite frequent for several sequels to begin production simultaneously, a practice we’ve seen before in films like “Back to the Future,” “The Matrix,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Sometimes, these films are shot one after another with minimal breaks in between. On other occasions, they are filmed concurrently, with scenes for both movies being shot on the same day.

In the previous two Avengers films, there was little time between their releases, a setup that the Russo brothers had expressed dislike for due to the grueling Avengers filming schedule. It might be that they chose to alter this pattern since they wished to avoid experiencing such a demanding production schedule once more.

It’s uncertain when the next two Avengers films will begin production, but director Anthony Russo hints that there won’t be much of a gap in filming them. However, he noted that this break between productions will be more extended compared to previous times. He elaborated on…

It appears that about two weeks have elapsed since then. However, unlike the typical gap between films of such magnitude, these are somewhat overlapping in terms of timing, with around a year or so separating them.

In the production of “Endgame”, the consecutive filming approach was adopted, which implies that the main photography for the movie was carried out much earlier than usual. This suggests that the strategy for these two films is to film each one individually. Typically, shooting and post-production for big-budget films like these takes about a year before they hit the screens. Given that the two movies are scheduled a year apart, it appears that production will be divided in the same manner.

The primary motivation behind these upcoming films might as well be their narrative structure, rather than anything else. For instance, Infinity War and Endgame were two parts of a single tale, although the relationship between Doomsday and Secret Wars isn’t entirely obvious. While it’s probable that Secret Wars will draw heavily from the Marvel comics with the same name, the specific plot of Avengers: Doomsday remains a bit of an enigma, beyond the fact that Robert Downey Jr. will rejoin the MCU. These two movies might be standalone narratives, which could facilitate their separate production.
