Kevin Feige Debunks Avengers 6 Director Rumor

While there have been a number of rumored candidates to direct Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that nobody has been approached for the job yet.
Once Avengers 6 was confirmed to be in development to close out the Multiverse Saga, its director position became the hottest job in the entire MCU. And particularly after MCU rising star Destin Daniel Cretton took the directing post for its predecessor, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, fans looked to the MCU’s past and future to find the best person for that highly-coveted job.
The first name to pop up in discussions was Avengers: Endgame leading men Joe and Anthony Russo, although they likely won’t take on another project within the MCU until after Avengers 6 actually arrives in theaters. Then, the conversation turned to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Ryan Coogler, particularly with him being regarded as one of the best directors that the MCU has employed over its 14-year history.
But now, ahead of Black Panther 2’s release, it appears that the rumors about those conversations have been debunked for the time being.
No Avengers 6 Director Yet, Says MCU Boss MarvelSpeaking with Variety, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that the studio hasn"t approached Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler to take the same position for Avengers: Secret Wars.
While Feige made it clear that Coogler is "a singular talent and a great person" to work with, he confirmed that there haven"t been any talks about directing Avengers 6 at this time:

“Well, I would want Ryan to do anything at any time because he’s a singular talent and a great person to spend years with. But no, in all honesty, there’ve been no conversations. We’ve not spoken to him about Secret Wars.”

Coogler himself also debunked the rumor, bluntly saying "that"s crazy" when asked whether he"s in the running for the job.
While he still loves the work he does, he put everything he had into making Black Panther 2 and wants to take a moment to "sit down and reflect." Following that, he"ll work out his future:

“I love making movies, but to quote a character in our movie, I gave this everything. This movie got everything I have. I’m at that place where I think I’ve got this press tour in me and then I’ve got to sit down and reflect. Probably cry a lot, because I’ve been holding that back. And then from there, figure out whatever’s next.”
