‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Co-Director On The ‘Hardest Part Of The Job’

Thanos Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Avengers

Avengers: Infinity War is being touted as the culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe story to date, uniting several heroes in the ultimate battle against the powerful Thanos. In an interview with CinemaBlend, co-director Joe Russo revealed what he considers to be the most difficult aspect of bringing the ambitious film together.

Russo discussed the challenge of blending the individual characters and the tones of their respective films into one feature:

“Everything is setting up Infinity War. Every narrative that you have seen in any of the Marvel movies leading up to this point comes to bear in some way because all of the characters and all of the franchises are coming together, bringing their themes and their tone and the things that motivate the characters are driving them through this story. It has been the hardest part of the job for us, is melding all of that together, But thankfully, we got Markus and McFeely working with us. They are incredible collaborators. They wrote Winter Soldierfor us, and Civil War. Now they’re writing both Avengers movies. I feel like we’ve got a great Vulcan mind meld between the two of them, and me and my brother.”

Considering the Russo Brothers successfully balanced the ensemble cast of Captain America: Civil War, many consider the sibling duo more than capable of meeting the challenge.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, Sebastian Stan, Chadwick Boseman, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Benedict Wong, Tom Hiddleston, Tessa Thompson, Benicio Del Toro, Danai Gurira and Josh Brolin.

Avengers: Infinity War will be released in theaters on May 4, 2018.
