Acclaimed filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man, Extraction), co-founders of the independent production studio AGBO, were honored with a prestigious handprint and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles, California on the morning of Friday, February 21, 2025. The tradition dates back to the 1920s, immortalizing cinema legends such as Douglas Fairbanks, Marilyn Monroe and Tom Hanks.

The event recognized the Russo Brothers’ unparalleled contributions to film and television, highlighting their 14 number-one global film openings and more than $7 billion in global box office earnings, “cementing” the pair as the third highest-grossing directors in history, as of 2025, behind only Steven Spielberg and James Cameron.

Special guests in attendance for the induction included actors Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Electric State), Alison Brie (Community) and Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), as well as co-chairman and CEO of CAA Bryan Lourd, Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, and filmmaker Louis D’Esposito.

The honor came ahead of the March 14, 2025 release of the Russos’ latest film The Electric State on Netflix, which stars Pratt, along with Millie Bobby Brown, Greg Cromer, Alan Tudyk, Giancarlo Esposito, Holly Hunter, Stanley Tucci and Woody Harrelson.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Joe and Anthony Russo attended Case Western Reserve University before moving to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking.
