During an interview with Comic Book, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War co-director Joe Russo has been speaking about the upcoming two-part Avengers: Infinity War, which he’s set to helm with his brother Anthony. Russo was asked whether the film will see the Avengers teaming up with the Guardians of the Galaxy, and while he stopped short of confirming it, he did discuss how the brothers are going to approach the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes square off against Thanos.
“That is another one that we would have to reserve as a surprise, but we will say this: People will not be disappointed in the amount of characters in the movie. The concept of Infinity War is that the Marvel universe unites to battle the greatest threat to the world and universe that you’ve ever seen, and we’re going to honor that concept… We’re just going to approach the cosmic side with the same fervor that we did the earthbound work we’ve been doing. We also are going to work really hard to bring a psychological realism. We obviously can’t bring a naturalism to it because it doesn’t really exist outside of science fiction, but we can bring that psychological realism to it, to the characters, and that’s going to be our focus.”
