Citadel: Russo Brothers Tease “You Can’t Trust Anything That You See“

While promoting their new Prime Video series, Citadel, Joe and Anthony Russo sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub and answered some of our questions about this first-ever global franchise show. Having worked on action-packed blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame and Netflix’s The Gray Man, Amazon reached out with this unique opportunity “that would use creative teams throughout the world in an interconnected way, a collaborative way.” Anthony tells Weintraub, “it was our job to come up with a story that was worthy of that kind of format.” Citadel is designed with the influence of “an old serial,” according to Joe, and relies on twisting the narrative with “propulsive” storytelling, cinema-quality action, and cliffhangers. Starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the show’s lead spy operatives, the world’s security is at risk, and in a concise six episodes, Season 1 introduces audiences to this tale that will reach across the globe with both an Italian and Indian installment to follow.
