“But you know what?

All’s fair in love and war and fantasy football.”

“My brother [Anthony Russo] and I are very big on keeping the set fun.

Russo is playing in the league for theArthritis Foundation, which has a personal connection for him.

And he’s touched to see how much of an impact their league is making for charity.

“We need a little good right now in the world,” he adds.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Using the massive platform of the MCU for a good cause is amazing to see.

And, of course, getting to trash talk all your friends is a nice little cherry on top.

JOE RUSSO:Its great, its part of the fun of it.

We’re all so close.

It’s a very tight-knit family, a lot of us have worked together for almost a decade.

That’s the best part of it, it’s like roasting your friends for a good cause.

What have you thought of all the trash talk videos weve seen so far from your competitors this season?

You know, we haven’t seen Reynolds' yet, who is a master at this.

I’m excited to see what he does.

I thought Paul Rudd’s was insane.

The amount of energy and thought and effort that went into that video is unprecedented.

And that’s part of the mission bringing awareness.

Anything charming that Paul Rudd does is going to get attention.

Do you have a favorite burn from your video?

That Chris Evans/OnlyFans zinger inspired byNot Another Teen Movieis definitely my favorite.

How did you come up with that brilliance?

That was Mekki, so I’ve got to give credit where credit’s due.

That’s the only one I was like, “I don’t know about this.”

But you know what?

All’s fair in love and war and fantasy football.

And speaking of Rudds video from last week, “Whos rooting for Paul Rudd?

And that was Mekki as well.

But I think I had the biggest laugh at “Chris Pratt guy loves camo hats and God.

I was never going to beat him at fantasy football.”

[Laughs] We started playing fantasy football with Pratt three years ago in this other, private league.

He just understands and loves football.”

And I have to ask, does Anthony Mackiereallyplay golf on Trump courses?

If so, that burn just writes itself.

You know, that was another one I was a little worried about.

Pre-election he played on a course, so I always made fun of him for it.

And then after 2016, I think he would never set foot on a Trump course.

Even though shes in last place, why didnt you trash talk Elizabeth Olsen?

No one gets off that easy in fantasy football!

Lizzie is just too nice.

She is too sweet.

It’s almost impossible to find something to go after with Lizzie.

She’s one of my favorite people.

Just a genuinely good human being.

And did you actually make that bet with Simu?

I think all the Marvel fans would love to see that.

I can’t disclose it because Marvel would send the snipers after me.

[Laughs] We’ve gotten to know Simu really well.

I went up to him after he had an appearance at Comic-Con.

I think was two years ago now, where he was introduced.

He just charmed the pants off the crowd, he was spectacular.

I certainly had to include myself in the roast.
