Created by Rick Remender and Wes Craig, Deadly Class was launched in 2014. The series follows Marcus Lopez in a unique coming-of-age story set in the late ’80s at King’s Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts where the top crime families send their children to be trained as the next generation of assassins.
Fresh from directing Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, Joe and Anthony Russo are directing the upcoming two-part The Avengers: Infinity War next. The Russo brothers have also served as executive producers to the TV series Community and won an Emmy for their work in Arrested Development.
