Despite stepping away from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, Joe and Anthony Russo are already makin🍎g noises about a potential return to the MCU, namechecking a handful of previously Fox-owned characters that could persuade them back into the director’s chair.

Speaking to on what could bring them into the fold after helming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War, and Endgame, Joe Russo said: “I grew up on [John] Byrne's X-Men run. Ben Grimm was a favourite character growing up: The Thing. And Fantastic Four is now in the Marvel fold𝓰. There's a lot.”

Each of those properties – X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Silver Surfer – were under Fox’s stewardship until this year’s takeover by Disney, which now sees the movie rights for e🐟ach character revert back to Marvel.

The younger Russo Brother also further expanded on the idea of a Silver Surfer movie: “Silver Surfer is an amazing char🦩acter. Going really big in cosmic would be a lot of fun. So, there's a lot of things that could attract us.”

The Russos 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously told GamesRadar back in April that they w🌠ere done with the MCU after Endgame, with Anthony Russo explaining, “It’s our Endgame, at least for now. We don’t have any plans for now to make any more Marvel movies.”

Despite seeming fairly definitive, the pair sound more open to directing a Ma𓆏rvel movie for the fifth time, a record for any franchise. Joe Russo now admits: “I'm sure we'll find s🎃omething that we can do together soon."

Whether it’s Silver Surfer, Marvel’s First Family, or a handful of mutants that could bring the Russos back, it’s clear that the pair are very much leaving their options open🍬 for yet another superhero saga.
