Joe Russo has revealed that he and filmmaking brother Anthony were more 'aggressive in tone' for Captain America: Civil War.
Captain America: Civil War
Anthony and Joe Russo return to the director's chair for the already highly anticipated movie Civil War, which could go on to be the most successful film in the Captain America franchise to date.
This is the first time we have seen them in the director's chair since they steered The Winter Solider to both critical and commercial success back in 2014. This really is the 2016 film I cannot wait to see.
Speaking at Wizard World Cleveland Comic Con over the weekend, Joe said: "We really did a radical reinterpretation of Captain America in Winter Soldier. We were twice as aggressive in tone and execution on Civil War."
Civil War sees the Russo brothers reunite with actors Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan as they return to the franchise to reprise their roles as Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, and the Winter Soldier.
However, there are some big new additions as we are going to see Robert Downey Jr, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and Paul Rudd appear in a Captain America movie for the first time. It really is a wonderful cast that has been brought together as we see the Avengers torn apart and going head to head.
Captain America: Civil War will kick off Phase 3 of Marvel films and is the first of two Marvel films to be released this year; the second comes in the form of Doctor Strange in the autumn.
Civil War is set to lay some of the foundations for the upcoming double Avengers film Infinity War, which will see Anthony and Joe Russo take over the director's chair from Joss Whedon.
Captain America: Civil War is released 29th April.
