If Chris Hemsworth isn’t enough for you, how about adding some extra Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame goodness in the form of Anthony and Joe Russo? Yes, the directors of the two hit movies (along with the last two installments of the Captain America franchise) are the producers of Extraction. This actually marks the second time the Russo Brothers have produced a movie starring a Marvel franchise player, seeing as the two also played the same role with 2019’s 21 Bridges, starring Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman. Per The Verge, the brothers are also set to helm the upcoming Netflix show about the uber-popular card game, Magic: The Gathering, so clearly, they’re pretty serious about their Netflix involvement. Interestingly, Joe Russo has also written the script for Extraction.
That’s not the extent of the brothers’ involvement, either. Extraction has actually been in development since 2013 — before Captain America: Winter Soldier even came out. Also, it’s based on Ciudad, a graphic novel by the Russos, Ande Parks, and Fernando Leon. (Their graphic novel-writing ventures are just part of the untold truth of the Russo Brothers.)
Basically, we’re looking at a story that the Russos have been tinkering with for ages, and that they now get to revisit with all the experience that directing four MCU movies has provided them.
