SAN DIEGO - "Avengers: Endgame" directors Joe and Anthony Russo did a victory lap at San Diego Comic-Con Friday.

The brothers reflected on their blockbuster being so close to matching "Avatar's" all-time box office record and even fielded questions from some unlikely fans.

"Avengers" stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Paul Rudd grilled their directors via video message on everything from who is the smartest Avenger to what Captain America did after completing his big task in "Endgame."

The Russos are already on to their next projects as producers. One reunites them with "Spider-Man" star Tom Holland on a movie about the opioid crisis set in their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and another will see Michael B. Jordan star in "The Thomas Crown Affair."
