JOHN WICK Directors Helped Create Action Scenes in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

I’ve already said that Captain America: Civil War has some of the best action sequences ever put in a superhero movie. It makes complete sense now that I know that John Wick directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch were brought in to help develop some of those fight sequences!

Apparently, Joe and Anthony Russo are friends with them, and they thought that they could bring something special to the movie with their expertise. That’s exactly what they did. In an interview with Collider Joe Russo explained: 

"They did us a huge favor. They're friends of ours, and obviously, they're now off enjoying very successful directing careers, and just as friends we called them and asked them if they'd help us execute some of the action sequences. Along with Spiro Razatos, who is generally regarded as the top guy along with Chad and David, so we literally had an all-star team of second unit directors working on this movie with us, because we cared so much about the action, the quality of the action, and we knew we had to work really hard to up our game from Winter Solider, so we wanted to bring in the best people in the business to help us do that."

So believe the hype, my friends. When everyone in the world and I say that Civil War is loaded with some of the most badass action you've seen in a Marvel movie, keep in mind that the directors of John Wick helped make that happen, and it’s going to blow you away!
