Before they were involved in the biggest movie franchise of all time, the Russos had an unlikely beginning: onset of the critically acclaimed comedy Arrested Development. The brothers served as directors for multiple episodes of the series.

After working on comedies like Arrested Development and Community, the Russos transitioned to an entirely different genre: superhero film franchise.

The Russos first directed the second and third installments in the Captain America series: Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. .

They did such a great job with these two films that Marvel entrusted them with their crown jewel: the third and fourth Avengers films, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

The Russos transition from Arrested Development to the MCU may have seemed odd at first, but one viewing of either property proves that they’re sensibilities are well-suited for both.

While it wouldn’t seem like those two worlds would cross paths very easily, the Russos did find a way to work the Arrested Development universe into the MCU
