It is an audaciously ambitious plan, a play for world influence that the warring spies of “Citadel” might recognize. The idea that we could create a story that not only traveled around the world but was created around the world seemed like a very exciting movement forward.” “But those were Hollywood-centric narratives that traveled. “We’ve had the good fortune of being able to tell stories that travel around the globe, and we’ve seen the effect that those can have on audiences,” Anthony Russo said, sitting beside his brother during a video interview last week from London. At the center are two agents and smoldering former lovers, Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) and Mason Kane (Richard Madden), who must fight to save the organization after a nefarious enemy spy group, known as Manticore, nearly wipes Citadel off the map. The brisk, often violent action drama is about a global spy network, also called Citadel, charged with keeping the world’s peace, often through unpeaceful means. The result, or at least the first step, is the six-part first season of “Citadel,” debuting Friday.

As linchpins of the Marvel empire, having directed two Avengers movies and two Captain America movies, they knew all about international reach Marvel, after all, reaps much of its enormous profit abroad. It would start with an American-made show then eventually expand into multiple other series, set and produced in other countries and filmed in other languages, all connected within the same storytelling universe on Prime Video. About five years ago, the head of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke, called Anthony and Joe Russo with an idea for a different kind of franchise.
