“Avengers: Endgame” directors Anthony and Joe Russo and “Fast & Furious” director Justin Lin are teaming up to launch Superconductor, a creative services agency aimed at the marketing world, the founders announced Thursday.
Superconductor, which the Russos and Lin founded with Todd Makurath and Luke Ricci, will provide marketing solutions, or what they call “Must See Marketing,” for companies to address business challenges and create content in film, cinematic commercials, digital video, Vr and Ar, stunts, activations, brand integrations and more.

Myleene Klass has responded to claims made in tonight's (February 6) episode of The Big Reunion.
Viewers saw Linzi from Girl Thing explain that her vocals were on the backing track of Hear'Say's 2001 hit 'Pure and Simple'.
The track was originally recorded by Girl Thing, but there is dispute over whether the group helped to write the song.
Linzi insists that she was heavily involved, while the song's credited writers deny that the girls had any input.
After watching the scenes as they aired on ITV this evening, Klass tweeted: "I Knew we never sang the backing vocals! #BigReunion."

Former Hear'Say popstar Kym Lomas has revealed to Digital Spy that everyone keeps asking her to take part in a second series of ITV2's Big Reunion.
Lomas, now starring in Coronation Street, was one of the founder members of Popstars reality TV winners Hear'Say in 2000, but she walked out on the band two years later.
Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan replaced Lomas with Johnny Shentall, but they failed to match their early chart success and split 10 months later.
Speaking to DS at the Royal Television Society Awards last night (March 19), the singer-turned-actress said: "I've been asked about [The Big Reunion] a lot actually. People keep saying, 'Why aren't you doing it?'
"It's hard work being in a pop band. You're away from home a lot. It's not great when you have children. I love what I'm doing now and I don't miss it."
Hear'Say launched in 2000 and achieved two No.

Well, here’s a weird, rather obscure one for you. Back many years ago, there was a stage play called “The Ultimate Adventure”, starting first Jon Pertwee and then Colin Baker playing the Doctor alongside a pair of companions named Jason and Crystal. They went on an adventure that was somewhat ultimate, fighting Daleks and Cybermen and generally having a good time of things. Big Finish adapted it into an audio adventure back in 2008 and now we have this, a sequel to it.
So, basically, this is a sequel to an audio play which was an adaptation of a stage play that maybe .1% of Who fans actually saw. With me so far?
This particular Companion Chronicle is notable for containing not one, not two, but three cast members, in the form of Noel Sullivan as Jason, Claire Huckle as Crystal and Colin Baker as the Doctor.

Dancing On Ice doesn’t hit our screens until next January but already, ITV bosses are auditioning possible contestants.
A whole host of famous faces were seen arriving at Alexandra Palace ice rink at the weekend, all hoping to land a place on the popular reality Tv series.
The Mirror report that ‘Allo ‘Allo actress Vicki Michelle was spotted outside the venue, as was Popstars singer Noel Sullivan, retired Tottenham Hotspur footballer Ian Walker, Towie star Gemma Collins, Britain’s Got Talent dancers Stavros Flatley and comedian Marcus Brigstocke.
Lets hope the stars are all fit and able as the injury record of the show is quite astounding. In the last series alone, Jeff Brazier badly hurt his neck, Vanilla Ice was knocked out and concussed and Johnson Beharry broke his hand.
Celebrities generally get to rehearse for around three months before the series starts in January, so ITV bosses...
