The Russo Brothers' Global Spyverse: Bridging Cultures with 'Citadel'

Anthony Russo describes the thrill of collaborating with Indian filmmakers on the ambitious 'Citadel' series. The show, featuring global chapters like 'Honey Bunny' and 'Diana', connects multiple cultures and offers a unique storytelling experience. Indian cinema's passion, says Russo, was a key inspiration.

In an exclusive interview with PTI, Anthony Russo, one of the Russo brothers, expressed excitement about collaborating with Indian filmmakers on their ambitious series 'Citadel'. After experiencing the fervor of Indian cinema on visits to promote films like 'Avengers: Endgame', the directors were inspired to bring their 'spyverse' to the country.

'Citadel' stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, and is regarded as the Russo brothers' most intrepid endeavor. The series leverages the creative talents of Indian artists, offering a unique dialogue with global audiences, especially as it gears up for the India-centric release 'Citadel: Honey Bunny'.

This cross-cultural project also includes 'Citadel: Diana', which reflects the Italian roots of the Russo siblings, providing a fresh narrative twist. Set in future and past timelines, these adaptations expand the show's global storytelling arc, fostering deeper connections with fans and filmmakers worldwide.
