Picture This: Marvel Directors in the Studio's Office Working, Hanging Out and Having Amazing Conversations



Pretend you're in Burbank, Cali., where Disney Studios is located along with Marvel Studios having their offices on the lot. It's the creative mecca for Marvel's directors within the confines of that office. Talk about wanting to have your own Ant-Man suit so you can become tiny and listen in on some of the best conversations about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This is reportedly exactly how it is behind the closed doors of Marvel Studios' Burbank office, according to BirthMoviesDeath.

“One of the nice aspects of working at Marvel is the interaction with the other directors and writers,” Peyton Reed, director of ANT-MAN and ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, told BMD. “In Hollywood, directors don't always hang out with each other. We're generally too self-absorbed, egotistical and focused on our own things. So it's cool to see Taika [Waititi] or Scott [Derrickson] in the hallway and talk about whatever. It's fun to have a meal with James [Gunn] and discuss what we're doing. It's awesome to have Ryan Coogler in the office next to mine. It taps into that Marvel Bullpen fantasy for me.”

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR director Anthony Russo added the following about Marvel Studios' unique office set-up.

“We are constantly interacting with everyone because we’re doing these movies that inherit so much of what they have done, or that may affect what they’re going to do,” Anthony says. “Interfacing becomes more and more important, especially as Marvel starts to do more movies per year. The soup is getting thick.”

This is great to know after the alleged fallout between Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter last fall that saw Feige takes the studio under the direct supervision of Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn. The Hollywood Reporter has also revealed that things reportedly came to a head between Feige and Perlmutter because of CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR withits  large cast and reported $250 million budget.

"We've been on that [Marvel] journey from Winter Soldier, and it may have been some story points from Civil War that caused the civil war within Marvel," Joe Russo told THR. "I think that there were years when Kevin was absorbing the pain inflicted on the company."

In the end, it's all fun and games and hard work inside of Marvel Studios' Burbank office and this can be seen if you follow Marvel's directors, who recently took to their Twitter accounts to have a fun and funny back-and-forth starting with THOR: RAGNAROK director Taika Waititi.



Reed was the first to respond followed by GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 writer/director James Gunn.





Waititi was thankful for the advice shared by his fellow Marvel directors, then cracks a joke about Thanos which caused Gunn to respond, since he had Thanos in the first Guardians movie (and he has since confirmed Thanos will not be in the sequel).



Waititi took a moment to bring DOCTOR STRANGE director Scott Derrickson into the conversation.


Finally, Waititi is trying to get SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING director Jon Watts to get on Twitter.



In conclusion, these types of back-and-forths on Twitter really emphasizes the fun these directors are having together while working for Marvel Studios. And it also shows the fun Waititi will be bringing to THOR: RAGNAROK, too.
