In a recent chat, the Russo brothers, yes, those guys behind the epic Avengers flicks—dropped some tantalizing hints about their interest in crafting video games connected to their Marvel masterpieces. Imagine swinging through New York City or strategizing your own superhero battles while diving deeper into the stories they’ve brought to life on screen!
This juicy tidbit came out during an interview with Variety, where they were promoting their latest project, “The Electric State.” So what’s cooking at AGBO, their media company? They’ve already teamed up with Netflix to develop a mobile game based on Electric State. They have recently welcomed Pete Wanat, a veteran from Nifty Games, as president of interactive technology.
In addition to that mobile venture, the Russos are eyeing three large-scale transmedia projects built around original concepts. But here’s where it gets exciting—they’re not ruling out the possibility of creating games based on upcoming projects like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Joe Russo shared his thoughts, saying, “We would definitely be open to it.” Talk about throwing us a bone!
What’s even more remarkable is their ambition. They aim to create new characters and worlds with the same depth as something like the Star Wars universe but explore different genres. Sounds like they want to tell stories in fresh and exciting ways across multiple mediums. With three worlds currently in development, it seems like there’s plenty in store for fans of both cinema and gaming.
