Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writing team behind the mega-blockbuster Marvel Avengers movies, drop by to talk about writing the Biggest Movie of All Time (adjusted for inflation). They share their experience writing meta Baywatch spec scripts and balancing 20+ protagonists in The Avengers. Reza quizzes them in “God or Superhero,” and they debate the religious resonance of modern superhero movies.
