The sibling duo is also producing a heap of films via their production company AGBO Films, and one project is a political tech drama about the real-life company Cambridge Analytica. Collider is reporting that that untitled project is looking to add Oscar winners Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything,” “Trial of The Chicago 7“) and director Peter Farrelly (“Green Book“), which would quickly place the move into the festival circuit and possibly lead to multiple awards consideration. 

If you’re unfamiliar with the project or the company, Collider gives us a refresher, “Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm that illegally harvested the personal data of 87 million Facebook users to influence Donald Trump‘s presidential victory and the Brexit vote.”

To say that Stephen McFreely and Chris Markus have had a very good run is a bit of an understatement.  The screenwriting partners  established themselves as the go-to writers for Marvel Studios after the box office and critical success of “Captain America: Winter Soldier.”  This lead to four years working on both “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame.”  The latter earned a staggering $2.797 million across the globe.

Listen, I tried.  Knowing the screenwriters of “Avengers: Endgame,” Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, were under strict orders to not give anything away I did my best to prepare some questions that might reveal a glimmer of what we can expect.  I mean, these aren’t the easiest interviews when you’ve only been shown 10 minutes or less of the movie.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, “Endgame” is the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s blockbuster, “Avengers: Infinity War.” And, unless you have been living on a deserted island, that film ended with some of Marvel Studios’ most famous heroes fading to dust after Thanos (James Brolin) wipes away half of the universe’s population.

Now that tickets are on sale, we can officially say that “Avengers: Endgame” is not only the longest Marvel Studios film ever, but also the first to clock in over 3 hours, with a running time of 182 minutes.

Hold on a second while I put on my suit of armor that’s going to protect me from the vicious fandom debate that’s about to kick off.

It’s time to talk about Marvel vs. DC. Not only are we going to pit the two universes against each other, but we’re going to see just how two of the creative minds behind some of the best things at Marvel Studios would “fix” the DC film universe.

It’s been two weeks since the world was forever changed by the events of “Avengers: Infinity War.” Okay, maybe that’s hyperbolic, but honestly, looking at social media, you get the feeling that Marvel Studios might need to watch out for a class-action lawsuit due to the psychological trauma caused by the film. Many fans left the two-hour-and-forty-minute film utterly depressed by the sheer amount of casualties, fake or not, as seen in the film.

Spoilers, spoiler, spoilers. Do not proceed further if you haven’t seen Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” like three times and have processed your grief.

It’s Marvel week (and hopefully not month). “Avengers: Infinity War” is an unstoppable Thanos-like monster destroying everything in its path and grossing $800 million in just five days in theaters. At this rate, it’s easily going to break “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” record for the fastest film to reach $1 billion.

Screenwriting partners Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely work in what they describe as the “best place in town.” They mean, Marvel Studios in Los Angeles, and they have a rare seat at the table of one of Hollywood’s biggest empires. The writers have become go-to Marvel writers, practically the in-house crew. Starting with “Captain America: The First Avenger” in 2011, they’ve written every Cap movie (‘Winter Soldier,’ ‘Civil War’), “Thor: The Dark World,” wrote on ABC’s “Agent Carter,” were reportedly behind some “Ant-Man” rewrites (uncredited) and were given one of the most prestigious tasks on the planet: writing one of the biggest movies of all time “Avengers Infinity War” and the ‘Untitled Avengers 4‘ movie that will arrive in 2019.

We’ve all seen the memes over the last week about “Avengers: Infinity War.” The ones where someone brings up that Marvel Studios claims that ‘Infinity War’ is the biggest crossover in history, and some clever Internet person puts up a funny juxtaposition. But the truth is, ‘Infinity War’ does mark a pretty incredible moment in film history.

With something like 64 characters coming together, each being portrayed by an A-list talent, it’s even a miracle this movie was made.
