'Avengers: Endgame' directors Russo brothers are all praise for Chadwick Boseman's '21 Bridges'

With Marvel's Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman all set to essay the role of an NYPD detective in Brian Kirk's thriller '21 Bridges'. While the trailer has been garnering good response from the audience, one-half of the popular Russo brothers, Anthony Russo was all praise for the charismatic actor.
Anthony Russo, who has come on-board as the producer of '21 Bridges' shared his take on the film's narrative.Talking about it he revealed, "There are many sides to a given story and as surprising layers of the narrative progresses, blurring the lines between protagonist and antagonist, we look for ‘villains’ with strong emotional or empathetic points of view."
Furthermore, he added, "Chadwick is an incredible artist who always brings that same level of execution to his work as a producer. He understands not only the intricacies of his character but how to step back and look at the bigger picture."
"We wanted to bring significant moral and emotional substance to the film," Brian Kirk, the director of the film adds. "It’s more layered than a simple 'good versus evil' story. Andre ultimately wants to save his prey, Michael, played by Stephan James, and their respective journeys are toward connection and interdependence. That was a fascinating and incredibly strong core element to explore."
The other half of Russo brothers, Joe Russo points out, the film fits very well in his and Anthony’s creative wheelhouse. "We grew up on genre films, especially elevated genre pictures with a particularly sophisticated execution of that type of material," he explains. "Brian Kirk was someone at the top of our list of artists we wanted to work with. He understands the film’s themes and twists and turns, as well as the social potency of some of the issues it examines."
The film which also features Sienna Miller, Keith David and J. K. Simmons in pivotal roles has released today in Indian cinema halls and looks adamant to leave an impression at the box office as well.
