Marvel is also in talks to bring on Captain America writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to write for the two movies. These will be the first Avengers movies without Joss Wedon at the helm.

The Russo brothers have also been the subject of rumors in regards to joining Marvel’s Spider-Man reboot and the all female cast reboot of Ghostbusters.
