While fans found themselves frustrated that the Russo Brothers promised surprise was simply an appearance at an Easter egg-heavy Dom Latveria coffee shop, Joe Russo did provide an update on the progress of both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
While talking to the crowd at SXSW London, Russo explained that work was still being done on Avengers: Doomsday–and would be for some time yet–and that as has been widely reported, principal photography on Avengers: Secret Wars has not yet begun.
We are doing some work still on Doomsday and we’ll be until, probably, they rip it out of our hands in November … We’re in the middle of what we would call pre-production on Secret Wars.
-Joe Russo
While fans continue to speculate that Avengers: Secret Wars will be moved from its December 2027 release date, Russo’s demeanor while talking about the project gives off far different vibes. Should cameras roll in August, which is believed to be the case, the Russos will have 16 months to work on the film before its slated debut, with them being able to spend the vast majority of that time giving the project their undivided attention. Unless there are major problems with the creative process, 16 months is more than enough time for a film, even one on the scale of Avengers: Secret Wars to make it to theaters on time.
