The Russo brothers screen Captain America: Civil War for “Chris Evans”
These are boom times for directors Anthony and Joe Russo. The Cleveland-born siblings have already helmed one massively successful Captain America film, 2014’s The Winter Soldier, and they have another one, Civil War, scheduled to open on May 6. Plus, they have two Avengers films—both halves of the Infinity War saga—already on the docket for 2018 and 2019. But with high-profile gigs like these come all the attendant pressures and headaches. To illustrate this point, the brothers Russo have posted a video to their Facebook account in which they wait nervously outside an editing room while star Chris Evans watches a cut of Captain America: Civil War for the first time. “It’s a very stressful moment for directors,” explains a somber Anthony, “to show the star the movie for the first time, so keep your fingers crossed.”
