Best Candidates To Direct Avengers: Secret Wars
The announcement of Avengers: Secret Wars at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 leaves one major question: who will direct Avengers 6? The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe became quite clear when Kevin Feige revealed most of the Multiverse Saga slate, including the double-header of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2025. There was no real information given about either beyond their release dates and overall importance to the Multiverse Saga and Phase 6. While speculation will run rampant about what characters will appear to fight Kang, the question of who will direct Avengers: Secret Wars also lingers.
Marvel Studios has so previously only given three people the opportunity to direct Avengers movies. Joss Whedon joined the MCU in Phase 1 to direct The Avengers, as his 2012 movie brought Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye together for the first time on screen. The movie's ginormous success meant Whedon's return for Avengers: Age of Ultron, which was another financial success, though it had a more mixed response. After delivering two great Captain America movies, Marvel Studios appointed Joe and Anthony Russo to direct Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It was under their guidance that they delivered an excellent two-part conclusion to the Infinity Saga and made Thanos one of the MCU's best villains, all while balancing dozens of characters and multiple storylines.
