The Russo Brothers are quite familiar with directing a big-budget comic book film. The director’s Joe and Anthony Russo were recently asked by comicbookmovie.com to share their thoughts about Zack Snyder’s Justice League getting released on HBO Max. On the film’s release, Joe Russo stated,
“I think it’s always great when a director’s original vision can find its way to the screen.” Russo also reiterated something that both he and Anthony have always maintained: that unlike Warner Bros. and DC, Marvel Studios has always been behind ‘The Russo Cuts’ of the films they’ve made: “We have been very, very fortunate in our careers that everything we did for Marvel, we would call our director’s cuts.”
Joe Russo went on to explain more of his experience working with Marvel, during his interview. He stated,
“They [Marvel] were very gracious and deferential, and very supportive of our vision for those movies, and there’s nothing sitting on the editing room floor that we suddenly want back into those films. We worked very hard at what the current cut of those movies are, so we’re very fortunate to have released our director’s cut on all four of those films.”
Durning their Marvel run, The Russo Bros. directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019) for Marvel Studios.
