The Russo Bros. Are Reportedly Producers on Marvel's CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo set a new standard for Marvel movies when they made Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The bar they set with that film was so high, and it’s still considered by a lot of fans to be the best movie that Marvel Studios has produced.
Kevin Feige is hoping that match that film with the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World. They are leaning into the whole political thriller aspect of the story and they are hoping to capture the same quality of storytelling. Good luck!
There is now a report that has surfaced claiming that the Russo Bros. are producers on Brave New World, which if true, would be very cool!
The Russos moved on from Marvel after Avengers: Endgame was released, and they haven’t really been involved with any of the other movies since in any capacity.
But, Captain America: Brave New World Editor Matthew Schmidt recently updated his film credits and Joe and Anthony's names are included on a list of producers on the film. The list includes Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's Nate Moore, and the Russo Bros.
It may just be a contractual obligation to have their names included with any future Captain America film, but it would certainly give fans a little boost of confidence in the project if they actually offered some of their expertise while the studio was developing the project.
Joe previously talked about a potential reunion with Marvel Studios, saying: "We’re always talking; we’d need to see what would work. We won’t be ready to do anything with Marvel until the end of the decade."
As for the story of the movie, Anthony Mackie previously talked about Brave New World saying: "This movie is a clear reset. It really reestablishes the idea of what this universe is and what this universe is going to be.
“I think with these movies, you're getting a clear, new branding of what Marvel is headed towards the same way they did with Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
"The title implies that there's a new, bigger enemy now; there's a new frontier that we have to conquer. From Captain America: The First Avenger to Endgame, the enemy was always good versus bad. Now that we've conquered that, where do we go from here? When the bad guys reappear, in what form are they reappearing?"
"It is a new storyline with new characters, with new beliefs, and it creates a new idea of this new world that we're going into."
Captain America: Brave New World's cast also includes Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly, Tim Blake Nelson, Shira Haas, Liv Tyler, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, and WWE Superstar Seth Rollins.
Julius Onah directs the movie from a screenplay by Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson, though the director is believed to have also taken a pass at it. Matthew Orton, meanwhile, has written new scenes for the additional photography which has been taking place in Atlanta, Georgia.
Captain America: Brave New World is set to arrive in theaters on February 14, 2025.
