When I searched about the movie and got to know that it was headlined by the Russo Brothers and Chris Hemsworth, I was a kind of skeptical as this was the first movie of Chris Hemsworth having a leading role that i viewed but taking a look at the Russo Brothers, I realised that they were the directors of Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, I then decided to give it a try.
