Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo are partnering with NFL superstar Tom Brady for a new movie.

The film, titled Unseen Football, is the first project stemming from Brady’s new venture, a production company called 1999 Productions, according to Deadline.

Speculation is mounting as to Brady’s future in the NFL, as many wonder whether he’ll leave the New England Patriots for another team after two decades.

His new company will develop documentaries, films and TV shows. Unseen Football will be the result of a partnership with the Russo brothers’ production company AGBO– specifically its nonfiction arm, Wonderburst.

The film is described by Deadline as a love letter to football, with Brady offering his expertise.

“As passionate fans of Tom, and the game, we’re thrilled to partner with him and his amazing team on this special project,” the Russo brothers told the website.

Brady said he’s “excited” and “humbled” to work with the Emmy-winning directors, adding: “I believe in the essence of teamwork, and I have no doubt, our team will create the most magical experience for people to enjoy.”

Unseen Football will be directed by Gotham Chopra, who worked on the 2018 Facebook Watch documentary Tom vs Time, which offered insight into Brady’s offseason life.
