The duo is also set to direct and co-produce the upcoming Netflix film The Electric State which stars Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, Jason Alexander, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Giancarlo Esposito, Anthony Mackie, and Billy Bob Thornton.

According to its IMDB, The Electric State tells the story of "an orphaned teenager traverses the American West with a sweet, but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother."

In an interview with PhilStar in 2023, the Russos shared how they develop projects at their production company with liberty. 

"You know, we're financed well enough where we can support paying a range of artists and writers to develop things over a good period of time, until we feel like a project is ready to sort of speak out and find other partners," Anthony relayed.

He went on: "And the reason why we do that is we want to develop every idea without any baggage about what it's supposed to be."
