That's fine, but somebody who wasn't Whedon did. I'd rather they get the same writer or writers as TWS or nearly anybody other than Whedon or one of his cronies.

I believe that was an RDJ improv.

Nice really enjoyed CA:Winter solider
This is exactly what I wanted.
Even as someone who likes Whedon a lot, I felt like the Avengers would flip flop between god tier dialogue and everyone being exactly the same, while the Russos managed to make a really compelling character ensemble dynamic work in Winter Soldier.
I was looking forward to this regardless, but this only increases the hype.

Whedon supervised and signed off on the script, and undoubtedly did some uncredited doctoring, as he's done to every MCU film since the first Captain America.
again, quickest fucking hollywood climb ever
they were doing Animal Practice like 2 years ago
its insane
The Winter Soldier really put these guys on the map. They're like the hottest directors in Hollywood at the moment.

OP title had me confused. I was like "well, which one?"
The Russos reportedly did some uncredited work on the WS script too.
Theyre also directing The Grey Man for Sony.

There are two of them.
That logically means they can make twice as many movies as Takashi Miike.

If Steve dies in Civil War or Infinity War it really pushes the reset button for the franchise and a chance for Bucky to take over with new director. I'm sure the Russos and Chris Elvans have developed a close working relationship so both are going to feel easier about leaving after several goes at the character.

How doe sit work when there's two. Like, do they have to hire both brothers, do they go with an all or nothing approach?
Anyways, pretty good news. First, we find out JLaw is done after Apocalypse and now this. Good news day for comic book films.

Is it wrong that I read this post in Viridi's voice?

Fairly certain the Ghostbusters involvment was always a Producer-role, never a directing one.
If Cap dies in Civil War, he'll be back in IW. It's a lock.
Steve Rogers will stare down Thanos. It's got to happen.
Wait, what? Source!

Winter Soldier was great but it'll be interesting to see how they get on with the Avengers. Joss did a fantastic job.

Whedon will no doubt do some original projects next. Hes been playing in someone elses sandbox and hes very much an original idea guy.

Maybe?
I'm sure he wants to take a break/make smaller stuff for a while after being inside the Marvel machine for so long.

Imagine a Mjolnir Cap/Thanos fight like the Cap/Winter Soldier fight. Imagine.

Does anyone know why Whedon stepped aside?
He said that Avengers 2 was to much for him. He almost couldnt handle the movie.
Burned out, wants to move onto other smaller projects, etc.

You can tell in interviews he's quite visibly burned out. Avengers 2 is his biggest project ever, I'm not surprised it took a ton out of him
I think it's because it was too much to do these movies and AOU was already so big for him. I would have loved him to do Avengers 3 so I'm a little disappointed but Russo's should be good replacements.

He can make any movie he wants now. A movie without having to consult a studio like Marvel about everything he wants to do with the characters has to be why every filmmaker gets into the business. After Angel ended Whedon said he was leaving TV because the culture had become so toxic with reality TV and corporate involvement. So he did independent stuff like Dr horrible and Much Ado About Nothing and an incredible run on Astonishing X-Men.
He made a movie that made the studio tons of cash. He could make a movie about pocket lint if he really believed in it.
