Director Sarik Andreasyan starts working on a new and very large-scale project. The filmmaker will direct a blockbuster about superheroes. Moreover, these will not be just people with superpowers, but representatives of the USSR. Casting of the actors has already been completed, and it is known that the shooting of the film entitled "The Defenders" will start on April 27th.

As it became known, the team of superheroes from the secret organization "Patriot", created in the USSR during the Cold War, according to the authors, included representatives of different nationalities of the USSR, and their superpowers reflect the strong qualities and traditions of the peoples represented.

The authors of the project plan to create a franchise based on the blockbuster and gradually introduce superheroes from other union republics into its plot.

In the meantime, the team looks like this: actor Anton Pampushny will play Arsus, who can turn into a bear armed with a machine gun, Sanzhar Madiev will portray the Asian superhero Khan who owns martial arts, Sebastian Sisak-Grigoryan will become the lord of stones and soil, a Caucasian named Lera, and actress Alina Lanina will perform the role of a girl named Xenia, who controls the water element.

In addition, Valeria Shkirando will portray the leader of the "Patriot", and Stanislav Shirin - a supervillain, gathering an army of clones to attack Moscow.

The film is slated for release in 2016.

“We are attached to the mental code, we want to plan a franchise ten years in advance, so that children grow up on these films,” Andreasyan said earlier about the new project. - After all, everything really starts from childhood, and the heroes of the new generation cannot be a policeman or a hipster. For America, the hero has been Iron Man for ten years now, I want to do the same, only with our people, our strengths and fears. I think it should work."
