“I don’t want to explain what that means but the audience will soon understand what I’m talking about,” Russo continued.
In a following interview where Russo promoted his new restaurant Simone in downtown Los Angeles, California, the director teased details of Avengers 4.
“We killed half the Marvel universe so for us it really is about, in what ways can we surprise the audience and tell a very challenging story,” he said, adding, “We’re about halfway through the editorial process and it’s standing about three hours right now. It’s a very complicated movie.”
“It has a lot of characters in it and you know we are putting in the work, so we’ll see where it ends up, but it definitely has a lot of story in it,” Russo teased. (acr/kes)
