Russo Brothers Return to Direct
The movie is being helmed by Anthony and Joe Russo, who previously directed Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Anthony Russo had spoken about their return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying:
"Endgame was the end, and it took a little time for us to begin to think about it as something other than an end. We’re very close with Kevin and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] and the entire Marvel team, and we’ve had conversations through the years. We’ve talked about a lot of ideas."

What We Know So Far About Doomsday
The movie will see the return of Robert Downey Jr., not as Iron Man but as the villainous Doctor Doom. It is rumoured that Doom will kill Kang the Conqueror and set up the events of Avengers: Secret Wars.
Downey has stated that his appearance as Doom will be a one-time event, making it unlikely that he will reprise the role in Secret Wars. Instead, he will likely help introduce a new threat for the Avengers to face. There are also rumours that Doomsday will focus on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four.
