At the virtual Apple TV+ movie premiere of "Cherry," Cleveland-native directors Anthony and Joe Russo talked about filming a personal story of war and addiction, at home.
The directors Anthony and Joe Russo spent much of the last decade making films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Most recently, they directed 2019's
Avengers: Endgame, which became the highest-grossing film of all time.
For their first post-Marvel film as directors, the Russos opted for something smaller and more personal in
Cherry. They did bring along their Spider-man, in lead actor Tom Holland.
Apple held an online premiere for the film on February 23, which was followed by a virtual Q&A with the Russos, actors Holland and Ciara Bravo, and screenwriters Angela Russo-Otstot and Jessica Goldberg. The Q&A was hosted by Dave Kargar of Turner Classic Movies.
