  • The Russo brothers have revealed which ‘Secret Wars’ comic book series inspired the next two Avengers movies
  • Two different comic runs, which were released in the 1980s and 2010s, bear the ‘Secret Wars’ title
  • The films are influenced by both literary works

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars‘ cumulative story isn’t influenced by one of the latter’s comic book namesakes over the other, the Russo brothers have revealed.

Speaking to TechRadar for their new movie The Electric State, which lands on Netflix this Friday (March 14), Joe and Anthony Russo revealed that they’ll “draw inspiration” from the 1980s and 2010s comic book series that bear the ‘Secret Wars’ moniker.

Avengers: Secret Wars is one of two Marvel films that the siblings will direct over the next two years. And, with two different comic runs called ‘Secret Wars’ – the Jim Shooter-written one, which ran from May 1984 to April 1985, and the Jonathan Hickman-penned version that released between May 2015 and January 2016 – fans have wondered which series will directly impact the fifth and sixth Avengers movies.
