Avengers: Endgame is the superhero event of a generation, perhaps even of a lifetime. The film is set to be the crowning achievement to the brilliantly crafted Marvel Cinematic Universe that has no equal. Following up last year’s comic book masterpiece, Avengers: Infinity War, the newly released Endgame aims to be the superhero equivalent to The Godfather: Part II.
The Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame global press conference recently took place and had the whole MCU family in attendance, of course including co-directors and siblings Joe and Anthony Russo. During the event, the Russo brothers were asked by the event’s host (and Iron Man director) Jon Favreau what they wanted moviegoers to experience while watching the film.
Anthony Russo had a short and concise answer.
“I’m sorry, Jon. We can’t talk about that.”

However, Joe Russo was happy to elaborate a bit more on the question.
“Look. This is I think a really unique experiment in movies, this grand mosaic. Depending on how you count it up, 11 franchises that have been interwoven into one big narrative. And I think a lot of people have invested a lot of heart and soul into the characters. When we take these movies around the world, it’s really heartwarming to see people come up to you and say hey. I started watching this with my classmates when I was ten years old. Now we’re all 21 and we’re all going to go see this together. Or my parents have taken me to every movie or my grandfather has taken me to every film. It’s a real sense of community and sharing in these stories and believing in them. And I think with Endgame, we get the opportunity to think to finish off one of the grandest experiments in movie history and bring it to, as Kevin said, an epic conclusion. So what we’re hoping for is that people feel satisfied with the conclusion.”
This looks like it could be an incredibly successful experiment, and one that will be used as a reference for any future studio wanting to succeed. Joe Russo is absolutely right, you may not know the folks in front of you in line or behind you, but you can be sure you can connect with them through the MCU.
No one likes to stand in line, but everyone loves the discussions that happen while waiting in that line. Trading theories with former strangers that are now new friends, finding common ground through a mutual love.
