Following their successful partnership with Avengers Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, Marvel Studios may have found their next sibling directing duo in the form of rising horror filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou.
The Australian directors gained recognition for their feature-length directorial debut movie Talk to Me, which became A24’s highest-grossing horror movie with a worldwide gross of $92 million against a reported budget of around $4.5 million.
