Avengers: Endgame Directors and Taika Waititi Announce Class on Flash Gordon for #PizzaFilmSchool


Since most movie productions are grounded right now, directors and actors have no other means of work besides remote video chats. With Avengers: Endgame directors the Russo brothers having their Pizza Film School, they've announced a class with director Taika Waititi on the classic 1980 film Flash Gordon.

Check it out:

With Flash Gordon being one of the main inspirations of Thor: Ragnarok, it's going to be interesting to see what Waititi has taken out of the film. I'm also interested to see what the Russo Brothers have to say about the movie and what possible influences it could have made to their entries in the MCU.

Though it may be a campy sci-fi flick today, Flash Gordon is one of the OG titles when it comes to the genre, with the original serials influencing the biggest science fantasy franchise of them all—Star Wars.

We don't know what's in store exactly for both the Russo brothers and Waititi, but we do know that Waititi has signed on to direct a Star Wars movie that is set to come out in theaters. It's not clear if it's going to be the movie coming out in 2022, but personally, I want Waititi to work on some more big-budget projects before he takes on something like Star Wars. As for the Russo brothers, they look to be done with the MCU, but they did say they would be open to teaming up with Lucasfilm somewhere down the line.

Catch the Russos and Waititi when they take an in-depth look at Flash Gordon on July 10 on their IGTV or AGBO Films on Youtube.
