Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars Directors Confirm Movies Will "Draw Inspiration" From Both Sw Comic Runs
Though Marvel Studios movies and Disney+ shows have used the titles in some cases, no MCU project has ever directly adapted the comic book run it was loosely based on.
We didn't expect this to change for the next Avengers films, but Joe and Anthony Russo have now confirmed that Doomsday and Secret Wars won't completely disregard the source material.
During a new interview with Tech Radar, the Russo Brothers revealed that they will "draw inspiration" from both the first Jim Shooter-written Secret Wars that was published in 1984, and the Jonathan Hickman-penned version that was released in 2015.
"Well, we always create our own version of the story," said Joe when I asked if they'd be looking to one comic run over the other. "So, we use the comics as loose inspiration."
"But, you know, I grew up on the original run," he added. "That's something that got me into Marvel comic books.
