Following the massive debut of 'Captain America: Civil War: which opened to $95. 8 million in China, Joe and Anthony Russo will produce a local-language franchise targeting the Chinese audience.
Joe and Anthony Russo, the sibling director duo behind Marvel's hugely successful Captain America franchise, have partnered with a Beijing-based production company to develop and produce a new Chinese superhero franchise. Excited Chinese movie buffs have already nicknamed the project "Captain China"
In March, the Russos set up Anthem & Song, a boutique studio that they are using to produce Chinese-language films for China's booming theatrical market, which is expected to become the world's largest box-office market next year.
Anthem & Song has partnered with Chinese film company Beijing Fang Jin Visual Media Culture Communication Company to co-produce the new superhero project, tentatively titled A Hero's Awakening in English.
