When Marvel Studios enlisted the Russo Brothers for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, many fans understandably questioned whether the filmmakers behind You, Me and Dupree were the right team for the job.
Well, the 2014 movie remains one of Marvel Studios' best, and Joe and Anthony delivered yet again with Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
They've since moved on from the MCU to focus on Agbo, a production label they can release their own movies through (with the biggest hit so far being Netflix's Extraction franchise starring Thor actor Chris Hemsworth).
While the Russo Brothers' time in the MCU appears to be over, Captain America: Brave New World Editor Matthew Schmidt recently updated his film credits and Joe and Anthony's names are included.
In a list of producers, we have Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier's Nate Moore...and the Russos!

Editors for many of this year’s most-lauded movies were careful to let the audience feel they were making their own discoveries as the stories unfolded.
“We had a structure that was so bold and the [deliberate] pace of the movie, which is slower than the way movies are often done today,” says Thelma Schoonmaker, three-time Academy Award winner and editor on director Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.” “Marty’s other great idea was, don’t explain. Don’t explain too much for the audience. Respect the audience’s ability to stay with the movie and understand, because if you keep bombarding them with facts, it just turns into a documentary, and he didn’t want that. So we hardly restructured at all.”
Editors often arbitrate between the perspectives of characters. Audiences might want to side with one person or another, but the goal of a filmmaker might be something much deeper.

Disney’s Marvel Studios reigned Friday night at the 45th Annual Saturn Awards at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles. Avengers: Endgame, the highest-grossing film in Hollywood history, led the night in wins (six) and nominations (14) with actors from Marvel productions taking home the lion’s share of gala’s gleaming hardware.
The finale installment of the Marvel big-screen saga was named best comic-to-film release. Robert Downey Jr.’s swan song performance as Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, in Endgame earned him the best actor in a film award. Josh Brolin, who portrayed the calculating, grape-colored alien despot called Thanos, won as the best supporting actor in a film for Avengers: Endgame as well.

A couple weeks ago, we reported that Jeremy Renner explained in an interview at Celebrity Fan Fest that the original scene between his Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow included a battle before the big climactic moment. Not the battle we saw between the two characters, but a battle between them and some foes that showed up in a ship in the ocean below the cliff at Vormir.
The editor for the film, Matthew Schmidt, actually expanded on that info and confirmed that the attack in the ship below was actually led by Thanos. He said in an interview:
“It was a tough scene for us to shoot. It's a reshoot we did about six months ago. The original was a lot more complicated, with an attack by Thanos. This was just us.”
Maybe it really ground Thanos’s gears that he gave up his daughter for the soul stone,...

Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War are easily the two longest entries in the McU to date, with the third Avengers movie coming in at 2 hours 30 minutes and its sequel clocking in at around 3 hours. When you consider just how much raw footage there was from the intensive year-long back-to-back shoot for both films, however, the time it takes to marathon the two doesn’t seem so bad.
Endgame co-editor Jeffrey Ford has revealed that a staggering 900 hours of material was shot across the pair of flicks. Ford, who worked with his fellow editor Matthew Schmidt, mentioned the shocking news to Business Insider, explaining that there was so much shot because the process of bringing the movies together was an ongoing job that spread across production on both Infinity War and Endgame.
“We were cutting every day, we were refining, we were figuring out what we were going to reshoot,...

Those who’ve already had the chance to watch Avengers: Endgame won’t be forgetting its ending anytime soon. The conclusion to the Infinity Saga (which spans over 20 films) closed the chapter on a handful of storylines and characters, and based on the film’s box office success, it looks like viewers were pleased with the Russo brothers as they’ve done right by the Marvel Cinematic Universe fanbase.
Of course, for every funny quip and well-choreographed action scene, there were plenty of tearjerking moments that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Aside from Iron Man’s death, Black Widow’s sacrifice on Vormir took audiences by surprise. Interestingly, though, it looks like things went down a little differently in the original cut of the film.
As reported by Heroic Hollywood, a few crew members who worked on Avengers: Endgame revealed an alternate death scene for Black Widow, which included a showdown with Thanos.

Black Widow’s death is widely regarded as one of the most shocking moments in “Avengers: Endgame,” and it turns out that sequence set on Vormir was originally going to be a lot different than what ended up being in the movie’s theatrical cut. As editor Matthew Schmidt revealed to Business Insider, the original “Endgame” script included a battle between Thanos and Black Widow on Vormir before the character sacrifices herself so the Avengers can obtain the Soul Stone. The scene was even shot before directors Anthony and Joe Russo decided the scene had to go in a different direction.
“On script and what we first shot was an excellent scene,” Schmidt said. “Thanos and his soldiers show up on Vormir and a small battle ensues between them and Natasha and Clint. Natasha decides to run off the cliff. Clint tries to stop her while also fending off the attack.

Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame are two of Hollywood’s biggest movies — and the hardest to condense into watchable films audiences could enjoy.
While directors Joe and Anthony Russo were filming the two movies back-to-back, they were collaborating with film editors Jeffrey Ford and Matthew Schmidt to edit them as filming was taking place.
What ended being almost six hours of combined movies was cut down from over 900 hours of footage.
“We were cutting every day, we were refining, we were figuring out what we were going to reshoot, figuring out what we had to finish,” Ford told Business Insider.

Making “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” was a mammoth task for directors Anthony and Joe Russo, but it was even more of a massive undertaking for editors Jeffrey Ford and Matthew Schmidt. The two editors spent two years editing the Marvel Cinematic Universe tentpoles back to back, and they recently revealed to Business Insider that in order to pull off both films they had to figure out what to do with 900 hours of shot footage.
“It was a massive amount of footage with three, sometimes four units working every day pumping out material,” Ford said. “And I’m not even including the motion-capture footage. But if you do a bit at a time you can get through it.”
In order to get both films done, the editing duo had to split up the duties on “Infinity War” and “Endgame.” The Russo brothers shot both movies back to...

Avengers: Endgame, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo is the supposed finality to the proceeding twenty-two film saga before it, while also serving as an ending to the Infinity Stone saga and concluding companion piece to last year’s sensationally fulfilling, and intense Avengers: Infinity War, that left us all on a frantic devastating cliff-hanger pining for more. That anticipated wait is now over with Endgame on the verge of opening in over 4,200 auditoriums domestically in the Us, as well as a reported $1 Billion worldwide gross. It is undoubtedly a film that will smash and crush box office expectations, but what about the film itself?

“Avengers: Infinity War” is stuffed with the largest number of superheroes ever to populate a movie. Directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe marks their third collaboration with editors Jeffrey Ford and Matthew Schmidt; they also cut “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War.”
Ford and Schmidt crafted the story using more than 900 hours of footage that emerged from 180 days of principal photography and another 100 days of second-unit work, most of which was shot using Imax cameras.
“As the material came in, we would watch it together and then divide it up in order to make our rough assemblies,” says Ford. “Then slowly, we’d start to care for certain sequences. If Matt knew a little bit more about one sequence, he’d work on that while I worked on another.”
The method served the duo well, and they...

They've done what they've had to do to survive on AMC's The Walking Dead, brining hope and despair to palpable life on the small screen with gritty realism every week.

Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Emily Kinney, Melissa McBride, Chandler Riggs, and Andrew J. West have all earned nominations, with the TV series itself receiving one as well.
