MCU Writer Originally Said ‘F— No. Absolutely Not’ About Doing a ‘Secret Wars’ Movie, Then Changed His Mind in Less Than 24 Hours: ‘I Have an Idea’
Longtime Marvel screenwriter Stephen McFeely is penning "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Secret Wars," but he originally was not interested.
While McFeely’s full idea for the next “Avengers” movies has yet to be revealed, it does include the return of Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU as the villain Doctor Doom. Joe Russo previously revealed to GamesRadar+ that the filmmakers and Downey had already been talking to Marvel about a different project when the idea for “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” was pitched and couldn’t be resisted. “Why would we come back if we didn’t feel like we had a story that had that possibility of being on an equal footing with ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’ unless there’s a kernel there for an idea that’s really explosive?” Joe said.
