Russo and his brother, Anthony, have become Hollywood icons having lensed some of Marvel’s biggest hits – including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. In 2013, the Russo brothers brought the Marvel team to Cleveland as they filmed portions of Captain America: Winter Soldier throughout the city for several weeks.

The Browns ultimately beat the Bears 26-6 as Myles Garrett made team history with 4.5 sacks. The Browns are on the road for the next two games against the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Charges.
