Before they were directing one of the biggest movie franchises in the universe, Anthony and Joe Russo directed 14 episodes of Arrested Development.

The Russo brothers also directed the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Infinity War. Like they've done in their previous Marvel titles, the directors added a little Arrested Development surprise in their newest movie.
