Joe Russo: AI Enhances Creativity in 'The Electric State'

Author : Gabriella Update:Mar 29,2025

The Russo Brothers' latest Netflix film, *The Electric State*, has sparked significant conversation since its debut on Friday. Amidst the current industry climate, the film's use of AI has become a focal point of discussion. Joe Russo, who co-directed *Avengers: Infinity War* and *Avengers: Endgame* with his brother Anthony, has defended the use of AI for voice modulation in the film, suggesting it's a simple process that "any 10-year-old could do after watching a TikTok video."

In an interview with The Times, Joe Russo addressed the controversy, stating, "There’s a lot of finger-pointing and hyperbole because people are afraid. They don’t understand. But ultimately you’ll see AI used more significantly." He further elaborated on the potential of AI, noting, "Also, AI is in its generative state now, where it has, as we call them, hallucinations. You can’t do mission-critical work with something that hallucinates. That is a reason self-driving cars haven’t taken over, or why AI surgery is not taking place worldwide. But in its generative state, AI is best suited towards creativity."

Despite the concerns of many artists who view AI as the antithesis of creativity, some studios are eager to integrate the technology. In July 2024, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos expressed that audiences "don’t care" about the use of AI in film and television. Sarandos emphasized the potential for AI to enhance storytelling, stating, "Animation didn't get cheaper, it got better in the move from hand-drawn to CG animation, and more people work in animation today than ever in history. So I'm pretty sure there's a better business and a bigger business in making content 10% better than there is in making it 50% cheaper."

However, not everyone is quick to embrace AI. Last month, Marvel denied using AI to create teaser posters for *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*, despite some visual anomalies suggesting otherwise.

*The Electric State* was directed and produced by Anthony and Joe Russo, with a script by Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, loosely adapted from Simon Stalenhag's 2018 illustrated novel. The film boasts an impressive cast including Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Woody Harrelson, Jason Alexander, Anthony Mackie, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito, Brian Cox, and Stanley Tucci.

IGN's review of *The Electric State* was less than favorable, giving it a 4/10 and describing it as "Marvel’s biggest hitmakers join forces again with the Netflix algorithm to deliver *The Electric State*, a $300-million anti-event movie."

Looking ahead, the Russo Brothers are set to direct the next two Avengers films for Marvel Studios: *Avengers: Doomsday* in 2026 and *Avengers: Secret Wars* in 2027.
