Your support makes all the difference.Following on from directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and both upcoming Avengers films, you would expect Joe and Anthony Russo to perhaps take a long earned break.
Not so, as the duo are already lining up future projects. According to Deadline, The Russo Brothers are setting up a production company, the first release being a feature from Swiss Army Man directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (aka The Daniels).
While details surrounding the project are being kept under wraps, the science fiction flick is reportedly “as original as Swiss Army Man,” the Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano starring film that won the duo best dramatic directing honours at Sundance festival.
The Russos, The Daniels, and Jonathan Wang - who partnered on Swiss Army Man - will produce, the script having been written by Scheinert and Kwan.
Meanwhile, The Russo Brothers are busy working on Avengers: Infinity War, which is currently filming at Pinewood Studios, Atlanta. The ensemble film is rumoured to be the most expensive film ever made.
