Joe & Anthony Russo to Direct 2-Part Marvel's 'Avengers: Infinity War' Event


The directors of Marvel's 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' sign on for Phase 3's dramatic climax!

As anticipation and excitement build to a fever pitch for Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the blockbuster sequel to the third-largest movie of all time, Marvel is proud to announce Joe and Anthony Russo will join the franchise as the directors of Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1” and “Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2.”


The Russo brothers first entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” one of the top-grossing film’s from 2014, and are currently preparing to shoot Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War.” The third film in the Captain America franchise will bring the classic storyline from the comics to life pitting Cap (Chris Evans) against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), as well as introducing Black Panther to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with actor Chadwick Boseman ahead of his own film later in Phase 3.

Before stepping behind the camera for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War,” the Russo brothers served as Executive Producers and directors for many TV series, including “Community" and “Happy Endings." Joe and Anthony earned a Primetime Emmy award for their work directing the pilot episode of the cult-hit “Arrested Development” series. Their film debut was “Welcome to Collinwood", produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney

Is he though? I thought he said he was done period. Obviously it doesn't take much to get a production credit though

Whedon in a producer slot overseeing the 3rd avengers film less work more pay.... :whoo: and im sure he'll still get that writing credit for the 3rd one...

True..but he sounds like a man who just wants to get away and do his own thing. I think he said in a buzzfeed interview that he hasn't created his own thing in too long and needs to make his own world with his own characters. So he sounds like a guy who's feeling confined by someone else's vision so to speak and just wants a break. I don't see him writing the next avengers movie but a lot can change in a few years
