Memorable scores from their 34-year collaboration includes the "Back to Future" trilogy, "Forrest Gump," "The Polar Express" and most recently 2018's "Welcome to Marwen."

Infinity War," "Marvel's The Avengers," and "Captain America: The First Avenger."
From the directors' liner notes, the Russo brothers said: "When something receives an extraordinary level of pop cultural attention, it's inevitably compared to The Beatles. The frenzy surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and especially this movie, which is the climax of an unprecedented twenty-two movie series, gets such a comparison. To take this a step further, there's a member of the creative ensemble behind these movies that can actually be compared to a Lennon or McCartney. Like them, this person is a song maker, who over an epic career, has created some of the most memorable film music of all time. Alan Silvestri's artistry has made 'Avengers: Endgame' a much more soulful, entertaining and resonant experience, and his music has inspired the movie from its inception. And like a true Beatle, Alan recorded this magic at Abbey Road Studios in London for us all to enjoy."
Silvestri adds, "Rarely does an opportunity like 'Avengers: Endgame' appear in the life of a film composer: a great story, great characters, great performances, a great MCUniverse, lovingly cared for by
Kevin Feige, filled with the greatest fans of all time AND great filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo, who are both fearless and willing to let the imagination take us wherever it will, supporting us every step of the way with that constant rallying cry 'WHATEVER IT TAKES!'"
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, "Avengers: Endgame."
Kevin Feige produces "Avengers: Endgame," and Anthony and Joe Russo are the directors. Louis D'Esposito,
Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Trinh Tran, Jon Favreau,
James Gunn and Stan Lee are the executive producers, and
Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay. Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Endgame" is in U.S. theaters on April 26, 2019.
