Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo all set to visit India

Hollywood films have their fair share of fans in India for decades now. And there used to be a limit to the business of these films at India box office. Sure, movies like Jurassic Park, Titanic, 2012, the Fast and Furious franchise, Mission Impossible films or the superhero films work well at the box office but it had rarely happened that these Hollywood films would challenge the dominance of local films in India. But the symptoms of it were first seen when Furious 7 hit the screens and made over Rs 100 crore in India, a feat which was unheard off for Hollywood films. A couple of years later, The Jungle Book released and made over Rs 180 crore at the box office braving even the might of Shah Rukh Khan at the box office.

And last year, it all changed, Avengers: Infinity War released and opened bigger than any Indian film at that point in time in 2018. Not just that, its Rs 31.30 crore opening is one of the biggest of all times as far as movies at India box office are concerned. The superhero epic went on to break several records at the box office and collected Rs 227.43 crore, more than the highest grossing Shah Rukh Khan film, Chennai Express (Rs 227.13 crore).

Thanks to the phenomenal response to the film, Indians fans can now rejoice as they'll soon be able to interact with one half of Russo Brothers - Joe Russo. Yes, the filmmaker is all set to visit India next month. On April 1 and 2, Joe Russo will be in Mumbai to promote their upcoming film Avengers: Endgame amongst Indian fans.

The conversations around the Avengers films haven’t stopped since the release of Avengers: Infinity War and Indian fans, as always, have been in the forefront; bringing their own versions and theories to the plot of the film.

All this love and appreciation for the movies; hasn’t gone unnoticed by the guys at Marvel and now to celebrate the success of Avengers: Infinity War and to engage exclusively with the Indian fans on the upcoming Avengers: Endgame; one of the makers of the super action drama is visiting India!

Talking about his visit to India, Joe said,

I am absolutely thrilled with the passionate response Avengers: Infinity War received in India, and cannot wait for you to see Avengers: Endgame. Thank you for embracing these movies. I am excited to be coming to India and eager to meet our Indian fans very soon.

For those unaware, Joe Russo, one half of the Russo brothers – who are behind some of the unparalleled Marvel blockbuster such as films Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and now Avengers: Endgame - has chosen India as his first destination as a part of their Avengers: Endgame promotion tour in Asia Pacific region.
