The article contains an appeal to authority when it mentions the box office heights achieved by 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame' being stratospheric. It also makes a hasty generalization when it states that Marvel Studios had been looking for filmmakers to tackle the ambitious back-to-back tentpoles after Destin Daniel Cretton departed, implying that no other options were considered.
The films will presumably be connected, à la the two-part story of 2018’s Infinity War and 2019’s Endgame.
It's unclear when Marvel plans to begin production on the upcoming Avengers installments.
The Russo Bros. are in early talks to direct the next two Avengers movies for Marvel Studios.
They have directed four of Marvel’s biggest and best regarded movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
The fifth Avengers movie was previously titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and was expected to star Jonathan Majors as Kang.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton was once attached to direct Kang Dynasty but departed a month before Majors’ conviction.
The sixth Avengers film is Secret Wars, which is a storyline the Russos have long talked about wanting to adapt.
Avengers 5 is set for May 1, 2026, and Secret Wars is set for May 7, 2027.

The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to authority, but no formal logical fallacies were found. The author states that the Russo Brothers are 'box office kings at Marvel' and their films 'grossed $6.681 billion', implying their success and expertise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is an appeal to authority as it assumes the reader will view their success as a reason to trust their ability to direct future Avengers movies. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory language such as 'high-stakes search' and 'months-long', which may be intended to create a sense of urgency or importance around the hiring process. However, these do not directly impact the logical validity of the article.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy. The author claims that 'Joe and Anthony Russo are being brought into the fold at Marvel Studios on various fronts with one of their first big priorities being the upcoming Avengers sequels at the studio.' This is presented as a fact without providing any evidence or sources to support it. Additionally, there's an example of inflammatory rhetoric: 'The next Avengers is a huge part of setting up the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the studio needed a high-profile director (or in this case directors) to guide the ship given the scope of the project.' This statement implies that only high-profile directors can handle such a big project, which is an overstatement and not necessarily true.
