Avengers: Secret Wars receives an exciting tease as its directors explain why they took on the project.
Speaking with Empire, the Russo Brothers teased Avengers: Secret Wars‘ story and how they arrived at it. Check out the full quote below:
Anthony Russo: “We’re very close with Kevin [Feige] and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] and the entire Marvel team, and we’ve had conversations through the years. We’ve talked about a lot of ideas. Really what happened was, we ended up stumbling upon an idea that activated all of us. You couldn’t see it coming until it came, and once it came it was like, ‘Well, that’s a story we need to tell.’
Joe Russo: “There were ideas that we were trying to wrap our heads around that preceded this one, and we just never found the story. I remember calling Steve [McFeely, co-writer of the Russos’ MCU movies] and said, ‘Hey, crazy idea. What do you think if we all go back and do Secret Wars?’ You were like, ‘Fuck no. Absolutely not.’ And then you hung up. And the next morning at 7.30 you called and were like, ‘Alright, I have an idea.’”
