Joe Russo, one half of the Russo brothers, has two active projects in 2026. He is a producer on The Whisper Man, a Netflix psycho-thriller starring Robert De Niro and Adam Scott. The film is based on Alex North's best-selling novel about a crime novelist whose son is kidnapped, linked to a serial killer called The Whisper Man. Directed by James Ashcroft from a screenplay by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer, the film also stars Michelle Monaghan and Owen Teague. The trailer and US key visual were released in July, and the film streams exclusively on Netflix from August 28.

Separately, in June, Joe Russo and his brother Anthony posted a cryptic Instagram image of Latveria's coat of arms, teasing a surprise related to Avengers: Doomsday during their SXSW London appearance. The post tagged Marvel Studios and the official Avengers account, fueling speculation that the surprise could be the first public trailer for the film. The tease came after the trailer was held exclusively for CinemaCon in April. As of the most recent stories, no further details about the surprise have been confirmed.
