The new "Avengers" can be entrusted to director Sam Raimi

Sam Raimi, who directed the Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire and sequel to Doctor Strange, is one of the main contenders for the position of director of the new “Avengers”. These rumors confirmed famous insider Daniel Richtman.

We are talking about two films at once with the subtitles “Kang Dynasty” and “Secret Wars”. They are planned for 2026 and 2027. Previously, Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) was assigned to direct the films, but he recently decided to stop working with Marvel.

In addition to Raimi, Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) and Jon Watts ("Spider-Man: No Way Home"). Whoever ends up taking the job will succeed Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of the previous two Avengers installments (Infinity War and Endgame).

It's worth noting that Marvel already has a lot of problems with its upcoming projects. The latest films and TV series are failing one after another (the only exception was

Guardians of the Galaxy threequel), many high-profile premieres are constantly being postponed, and the very concept of a new antagonist in the person of Kang is under threat due to recent accusations against actor Jonathan Majors.

It is possible that Marvel will rewrite the scripts of a number of projects to introduce new heroes or even bring back the old ones.
