  "account": "Avengers: Doomsday directors Joe and Anthony Russo have defended their decision to film the upcoming Marvel movie without a fully written script. The Russo brothers have taken an improvisation-based and rehearsal-based approach to directing, allowing for creativity and spontaneous moments to emerge during the filming process. This strategy is particularly relevant for Doomsday, as the film features a large cast of characters and high expectations to meet, with the return of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. being a significant factor. The Russos acknowledge that while the core plot beats are set, certain lines of dialogue and character moments may evolve on set as the actors bring their unique interpretations to the roles. Despite the possibility of reshoots, the Russo brothers maintain confidence in the movie's direction and its eventual release on December 18.",
