The film completes the storyline of the so-called fourth phase of the cinematic universe, which lasted from February 2023 to May 2025. Kevin Feige, president of the company and chief producer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe film franchise, noted that Disney had used a new approach for the film and it had borne fruit.

Director Jake Schreyer, known for such TV series as Shameless, Squabble and Star Wars: The Support Team, followed the path of James Gunn, who created two parts of Suicide Squad for Marvel's main competitor, the DC Universe, and told the story of the characters' relationship transition from hate to friendship. At the same time, the plot of the film remains quite simple.

Florence Pugh ("Lady Macbeth", "Little Women") and David Harbour ("Stranger Things", "Hellboy") have a lot of screen time in the film. Both are characters with pronounced accents and Russian roots.
