Avengers: Endgame Directors Are Done With Marvel Movies, For Now

<p>Anthony and Joseph Russo, collectively known as the Russo brothers, have helmed four Marvel movies--including both Avengers: Infinity War and <a href="https://gamespot.com/avengers-endgame/">Avengers: Endgame</a>, and two of the three Captain America movies--back-to-back. With Endgame here, the Russo brothers are taking the chance to say goodbye to Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe--at least, for now.</p><p>According to <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/exclusive-the-russos-say-theyre-done-with-the-mcu-for-the-foreseeable-future-after-avengers-endgame/">a GamesRadar interview</a>, the Russo brothers have no plans for more Marvel movies at this time. "It's our Endgame, at least for now," said Anthony Russo. "We don't have any plans for now to make any more Marvel movies." The key phrase is "for now," as Anthony confirms that the opportunity "certainly may come up in the future at some point."</p><p>So what's next for the director duo? The two are teaming up with Tom Holland (Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming) on a smaller project called Cherry, with American screenwriter Jessica Goldberg (creator of Hulu's The Path) writing the script.</p><p>"[It's] loosely based on a real story about a veteran of the Iraq War, who suffers from PTSD ... gets a heroin addiction and ends up robbing banks to sustain that addiction." The book, also titled Cherry and published in August 2018, is the debut novel of currently-incarcerated Nico Walker, who robbed 10 banks around Cleveland in a four-month period in 2010. Walker was arrested in April 2011 and indicted with an 11-year sentence in 2012.</p><p>In addition to Cherry, the Russo brothers have 21 Bridges and Dhaka in post-production. 21 Bridges, an action thriller, stars Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), J. K. Simmons (Justice League, Whiplash), Sienna Miller (American Sniper, Foxcatcher), and more. Dhaka, meanwhile, is an action drama featuring Chris Hemsworth (Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War), David Harbour (Hellboy, Stranger Things), Manoj Bajpayee (Love Sonia, Missing), and more.</p><p>In <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/marvels-avengers-endgame-movie-review-a-messy-sati/1100-6466424/">our Avengers: Endgame review</a>, we called it "an emotional, fulfilling ride [that's] a love letter to the entire MCU--the <em>whole</em> thing."</p>
