BRAINS BEHIND MARVEL’S FANTASTIC SUPER HEROE MOVIES ARE DEPARTING FOR GREENER PASTURES
Read Time:1 Minute, 31 Second
The future of the MCU, now that its key players are leaving, is obviously in a little bit of flux. Not only are stars’ like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson departing from the universe (with the latter getting one more film), but ‘Endgame’ directors and MCU masterminds Joe and Anthony Russo and screenwriting architects Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely— major part of Marvel brain trust that has been integral for years— are all vacating for greener pastures (the Russo have started their own mini-studio called AGBO Films, M&M are writing and overseeing everything).
“Avengers: Endgame” so far has grossed an astonishing $2.730 billion worldwide. It’s the second highest grossing film of all time, and it’s just under $60 million away from beating the “Avatar” all-time worldwide record of $2.788 billion globally, though its grosses have slowed to a crawl of late. Can it beat the James Cameron film? That’s a story for another time. And speaking of potentially tantalizing stories that need to be put on hold for the moment, the ‘Endgame’ filmmakers have an intriguing story of this ilk that they would like to tease.
While the four core Marvel creators have said their time with Marvel is up, “for now”— they have dozens of movies to write, direct and supervise that should take up the next 5+ years of their lives, at least— some of them are leaving the door open for more MCU. Not necessarily more for them, but for the Captain America character played by Chris Evans that they sidelined at the conclusion of ‘Endgame’ by turning him into a 90-year-old man, effectively out of the picture for good.
