The answer given by the director duo is doing rounds on the internet as fans believe that the Marvel director might work on the previously announced DC Batman movie The Brave and the Bold. The director duo, Joe and Anthony Russo, are currently gearing up for the release of their web series Citadel

After hearing the question Anthony chuckled that they are seldom asked questions about DC. Joe added, “Obviously James over there running it, it would be a no-brainer, We love him to death.”
