Joe and Anthony Russo (collectively known as the Russo brothers) have become two of the most successful filmmakers in Hollywood, thanks primarily to their work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, it wasn't with big-budget superhero action movies that the brothers got their start. They were mainly comedy directors before they moved into the blockbuster genre after working on TV shows like Arrested Development, Community, and Happy Endings. They even won an Emmy for their work on Arrested Development. 4g2166

Five years after the release of Avengers: Endgame, one can argue that the MCU and the Russo Brothers need each other. It's no secret that Avengers: Endgame remains one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. This was largely due to the dynamic directing duo of Joe and Anthony Russo. However, Marvel Studios has struggled to attain the same levels of success since, and the same is true for the Russos.

Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo receives backlash after commenting on Martin Scorsese’s box office. As half of the directorial duo The Russo Brothers, Joe Russo has directed several notable blockbuster films including Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, and Captain America: Civil War. All of these films were massive box office successes, with Avengers: Endgame currently sitting as the second highest grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office.

With their latest film The Gray Man hitting Netflix worldwide, the Russo Brothers aren't shying away from using their extensive filmography and acclaim to promote their movie. The Gray Man promises to be one of the most intense and exciting action thrillers of this year, with a huge cast including Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, and Ana De Armas.

Alongside directing some of the most successful movies of the past few years, Joe and Anthony Russo also have an extensive catalog of successful movies that they produced, which many fans might not be aware of - particularly since most of them branch away from the duo's usual superhero genre.
