As a movie enthusiast, I must admit that the Russo brothers, namely Joe and Anthony, have truly shone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with their blockbusters, “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” which rank among the highest-grossing films ever. However, outside of this universe, their success story seems to be a little less dazzling. Their ventures, such as “The Electric State” and “Gray Man,” backed by Netflix, have fallen short of expectations. Now, their ambitious spy universe project at Amazon MGM, named “Citadel,” is facing an unpredictable path ahead.
The high-priced spy thriller show received modest response, and its first season, which cost $200 million, struggled to attract large audiences in the U.S., failing to appear on Nielsen’s streaming charts. Consequently, the release date for Season 2 was pushed back to 2026, and all planned spin-offs have been temporarily halted.
Following Jennifer Salke’s unexpected exit from her role as studio head, who was instrumental in the conception of the series Citadel and facilitated the involvement of the Russo Brothers, we find ourselves currently in the post-production phase for season two of the flagship show starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra-Jones. Meanwhile, the fate of the two spin-off series, Citadel: Diana and Citadel: Honey Bunny, remains undecided as they have garnered positive responses in their respective home markets, Italy and India, but have yet to achieve significant global success.
As a follower, I’m speculating that one potential factor could be the recent acquisition of the James Bond franchise by Amazon MGM, which they aim to develop further following the next movie. It remains uncertain whether the studio intends to simultaneously promote two global spy franchises.
I’m wondering what thoughts might be going through the minds of Disney and Marvel Studios, given that it seems unlikely that “Avengers: Doomsday,” if directed by the Russo brothers, will achieve the same level of success as their most successful Marvel Cinematic Universe productions.
