Marvel Studios has yet to comment on the recruitment but it is being said that Russo brothers have defeated several acknowledged directors, including "The Adjustment Bureau" helmer George Nolfi and "The Italian Job" filmmaker F Gary Gray, reported Aceshowbiz.

The untitled Captain America sequel is expected to open in the United States on April 4, 2014 and will bring back Chris Evans as the titular hero. The first movie was helmed by Joe Johnston and grossed USD 368 million worldwide.

Russo brothers are best known for their works in comedy titles instead of action movies. They have directed NBC's series "Community" as well as several comedy features, including 2002's "Welcome to Collinwood" and 2006's "You, Me and Dupree".
