Slumping movie studio, which made a headline-making trip to San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, is back on top
Kevin Feige, left, Joe Russo, Robert Downey Jr., and Anthony Russo at the Marvel Studios panel in Hall H at San Diego’s 2024 Comic-Con International on Saturday. After suffering a years-long dry spell that had fans and industry observers wondering whether the lucrative franchise was destined for irreversible decline, Marvel Studios showed that it still has plenty more gasoline left in the tank.
The film’s massive success pushed Marvel past the $30 billion mark at the global office, making it the highest-grossing franchise of all-time. Meanwhile, the box office success coincided with the Disney-owned studio making buzzy announcements at Comic-Con. The studio revealed to an electric crowd on Saturday night that the Russo Brothers will return to direct the next two “Avengers” films, due out in 2026 and 2027. And, in a stunning announcement, Robert Downey Jr. emerged onstage as Marvel unveiled the one-time “Iron Man” actor as the franchise’s next big supervillain, Doctor Doom.
The move to bring back the Russo Brothers and Downey Jr. suggests that Bob Iger’s Magic Kingdom has heard audiences loud and clear. Bringing the three back into the fold signals that the franchise is pivoting back to the fan-favorite ingredients that reliably delivered in the past.
