It's not a surprise, but it's delightful. Marvel Studios is reportedly in talks with the Russo brothers to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars .

Though Waldron has experience dealing with the multiverse in the MCU, the precedent for it was set by Marcus and McFeely in Endgame so that either choice would fit the bill.
