Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War directors the Russo brothers don't have any official plans to create a Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series but they do have a fun suggestion for one.
Speaking to TechRadar, Anthony Russo said he and his brother "love longform storytelling. That's why television has always appealed to us," plus movies based on long-running comics like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "We have a passion for TV shows and we love Marvel, but we don't have any plans to do something with them, either on the series or movie front.
When asked which heroes they'd pull from the comics, however, Joe Russo said: "Whatever we say, we're going to get asked about it 100 times over the next week. So let's pick the Great Lakes Avengers." That idea is on the more whimsical side as they suggested creating a show around the Great Lakes Avengers, that features characters including Mr. Immortal, Dinah Soar, Big Bertha, Flatman, and Doorman. Though the group was trained by Hawkeye, and has fought alongside Deadpool, they're not taken as seriously as their New York counterpart.
Russo was clearly having some fun with this, as they also suggested the story of 'Cheese-Man'. This dairy dynamo isn't actually a comic book character, and likely just a joke about the team's base in Wisconsin as "America's Dairyland", but he would likely match the style of the Great Lakes Avengers.
Thing is, given the Russos' stellar back catalogue in the MCU, we'd actually welcome their take on the GLA.
Disney is exploring the lighter side of the Marvel universe through its TV shows,with the likes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law being released just next month on August 17. If they do return to a deeper and more serious tone, the Russo Brothers have also expressed their love for the Secret Wars series of comics.
