“Avengers: Doomsday” going into production without a finished script did not faze directors Joe and Anthony Russo. As the former recently told the Associated Press: “We always view the script as a living organism.”

“We’re improvisation-based, rehearsal-based directors,” Joe maintained. “We like to see what the actors bring to the characters, and sometimes you don’t get the actors until a few days or few weeks before you shoot them. And a lot of the time, that’s when the magic happens.”
