Avengers: Russo Brothers Address Recent Concept Art Leaks

The Russo Brothers, or Joe and Anthony Russo as they’re also called, have spoken up about the recent unauthorized releases of artwork related to Avengers: Endgame (previously known as Avengers: Doomsday) and Avengers: Secret Wars.

At the moment, the Russo Brothers are busy developing two upcoming films for Marvel Studios – “Avengers: Doomsday,” scheduled for release in 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars” set to hit theaters in 2027.

At the start of this month, some MCU design sketches, believed to be intended for Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, were accidentally released online. They were swiftly removed, but not before spreading widely across social platforms. Among the images in the leak were a grouping of the Young Avengers and a character resembling Doop, as well as Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova escorting a captive to a figure identified as God Emperor Doom, and other scenes.

What did the Russos say about the Avengers concept art leaks?

As a dedicated gamer speaking about the upcoming Avengers films, I can share that when The Hollywood Reporter inquired whether fans should fret over concept art potentially revealing plot details, the Russos dismissed it as unauthentic.

“That artwork was not from Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars,” Joe said.

Anthony added, “Nothing spoiling in there. That’s not our concept art.”

At present, specific storylines for Avengers: Cataclysm and Avengers: Battle Royale are yet to be revealed. However, there’s been plenty of chatter online about potential characters appearing in these movies. One detail we do know is that Robert Downey Jr. will portray the character Doctor Doom/Victor von Doom in the upcoming films, as this was confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con last year.

Additionally, it is anticipated that characters similar to those in The Fantastic Four’s initial outing and Anthony Mackie’s portrayal of Captain America/Sam Wilson may feature as well. However, the extent of their involvement has yet to be determined.

Starting next month, filming for Avengers: Doomsday will commence in London. This upcoming film is slated to hit U.S. theaters on May 1, 2026, and it’s from Marvel Studios. Following closely is another Avengers installment titled Avengers: Secret Wars, premiering on May 7, 2027.
