Anthony and Joe Russo had already been handed over the responsibility of directing Captain America: Civil War, for which filming begins this month. The movie features Chris Evans as Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. The action packed film is slated to hit theatres on May 6, 2016.

Anthony and Joe Russo joined the American television and motion picture studio back in 2014 when they directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which earned $715 million across the globe. The duo also recently signed a three-year first-look deal with Sony. Hearsay is that they are also close to striking a deal to do a Ghostbusters film.
