Director duo Raj and DK are currently working on the Indian spin-off version of the spy series Citadel, originally starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. The series is being made in association with the Russo Brothers, who were involved in the original project. Russo Brothers are most known for their contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, reports claim that after this project, Raj and DK will write a Marvel superhero film along with Sita Menon.
Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “Marvel liked the flavour that Raj and DK bring to their stories and had a probable discussion to come on board to create a cool new origin story for a superhero. They have commissioned the responsibility to Raj and DK, who are at present working towards developing this story.”
The source added, “At first, Marvel should like what Raj and DK present. Once the basic draft is green-lit, there will be several writer’s room discussions to enhance the write-up, and only then will the paperwork happen for this feature presentation. Right now, they are commissioned to develop one of the superhero origin ideas.”
The source continued, “At present, they are writing the film and it’s not known if they will be on board to direct it too.” The report did not mention any details about the story or whether the superhero will be of Indian origin or not. It is said that Marvel Studios was introduced to Raj and DK via the Russo Brothers, who have directed several films in the franchise. However, there is no confirmation of the same by either party.
Meanwhile, Raj and DK’s Indian spin-off of Amazon Prime Video’s Citadel will feature Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in lead roles. Samantha has finished shooting for her part in the spy-thriller series and is currently taking a break from acting.
