Joe Russo on Tom Holland's "Oscar-worthy" Performance in 'Cherry'
Joe Russo on Tom Holland's "Oscar-worthy" Performance in 'Cherry'
Director, writer, and producer Joe Russo may have moved on from the MCU, but that doesn't mean he's finished with the actors who helped make movies like Avengers: Endgame a success. While speaking with Collider about Extraction, which sees Russo wearing a producer hat while MCU alum Chris Hemsworth stars and former Endgame stuntman Sam Hargrave directs, he also opened up about the upcoming drama Cherry. For Cherry, Russo once again co-directs with brother and creative partner, Anthony Russo, while Endgame's Tom Holland takes the lead as an Army medic suffering from PTSD who resorts to robbing banks in order to fund his drug addiction.
Holland's Cherry character marks a significant break from the comfort zone he's been operating in in recent years as he shelves his relatively peachy keen Peter Parker/Spider-Man persona and dives into the skin of a grittier character in far tougher circumstances. According to Russo, Holland is going to deliver big time in Cherry and it sounds like we should all be getting hyped for what he's going to put up onscreen.
