"Avengers: Endgame" director duo Anthony Russo and Joe Russo is in talks to collaborate with Barack and Michelle Obama for a Netflix movie.

A feature film adaptation of the Mohsin Hamid novel 'Exit West' is the project the Russo brothers and the Obamas are potentially working on.

Riz Ahmed is attached to star in the film while Yann Demange is set to direct.

Exit West tackles the global refugee crisis and takes place in an unidentified country in the Middle East, where young Saeed and burqa-wearing Nadia flee their home after Saeed's mother is killed by a stray bullet stemming from violent clashes between guerrillas and the local government. The couple joins other migrants traveling to safer havens via carefully guarded doors.
