Speaking to Empire magazineAnthony revled that what lred them to return:
“We’re very close with Kevin [Feige] and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] And the entrepreneur marvel team and we’ve had conversations through the years. We’ve talked about a lot of ideas. Really What Happy Was, We Ended Up Stumbling Upon A [‘Secret Wars’] Idea that activated all of us, you even see it coming until it came, and Once it came it was like, ‘well, that’s a story we need to tell.’
And that Creative Spark Extended to Regular collaborator Stephen mcfelyWho is also back writing the new movies.
While Other Co-Writer Christopher Markus is so far sticking with the russos’ Agbo company to keep it running, mcfely was tempted back into the MCU Machine.
Here’s what joe told empire:
“There wedeas that we can wear to wrap our heads Around that preceded this one, and we just never found the story. I Remember Calling Steve and Said, ‘Hey,’ Hey, Crazy Idea. Do secret wars? ‘ He was like, ‘F *** no. And then he hung up. And The Next Morning at 7.30 He Called and Were LIKE, ‘Alright, I have an idea…’
