MCU Directors: Ranking the Top 5
ComiConverse Expert Contributor focusing on film and television.
No. 1: Russo Brothers – Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers 4 (2019)
Unsurprisingly, the top spot on this list belongs to Joe and Anthony Russo. They are responsible for the films that are thought to be the best in the MCU. Their first venture for Marvel in 2014 gave us Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Two years later, the Russo Brothers accumulated every superhero they had the rights to (and one they didn’t) and put them in one movie. Introducing Black Panther and bringing Spider-Man into the MCU were just brief highlights of Civil War.
Two years after the release of Civil War, the Russo Brothers’ most intricate creation will come to theaters: Avengers: Infinity War. This will pin the main Avengers team, Bucky, Ant-Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, War Machine, Black Panther, Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Doctor Strange against Thanos in an epic film that has been hinted at and set up across many films for six years.
Joe and Anthony Russo will also be directing the fourth Avengers film scheduled for a 2019 release date.
