91 Quotes by Joe Russo

We always try to make each film different so they don't get repetitive.

We like smashing genres into each other, so if you can find something that's really idiosyncratic in respect to superhero genre and you can smoosh it into it, you usually wind up with something fresh and different.

We like existentially wacky characters who exist in existential crisis.

We get excited by ideas, and we're more excited by being surprised by ideas than we are in dictating the course of events. We've found that leads to more interesting storytelling.

What we love about working at Marvel is they'll have a crazy opening for a movie like 'The Avengers' - like, a record-breaking all-time opening - and you get to the office on Monday, and they don't even have a pizza; it's back-to-work time.

There's always loose points that people bring up, which is great, and I think that's why you read criticism is because you want to see what worked and what didn't work, and certainly you have to filter it because there's a lot of people who just love to troll.

What's interesting about the fans is, fans are very fickle. They all have their own opinion.

The template that 'Infinity War' is following is a very different, complex template because you've never seen so many characters in one film. It obviously has to be a multi-perspective film.

What we do is service a story first, and then you figure out how to pay for it later. If the narrative isn't your primary focus, then the movie is going to become diluted, and you don't have a movie that is as good as it could be, so it probably won't make as much money.
