  Fayziev clarified that, according to the plot, people evolved and became part of a galactic society fighting creatures that look like  "super-reactive turboballs", so battles with them will look like football, hence the name of the film. The nickname of the superhero is Yashin.
  The director's chair was occupied by Dzhanik Fayziev's company Bonanza Studio, who counts at least three kinohit The Turkish Gambit (2005 film) and Furious (2017 film), the historical fantasy film. 
  Fayziev has been nurturing the idea of this project for many years: Cosmoball is rooted in the dream of wonderful future worlds and was inspired by the world's fiction classics.
  He is also the co-producer and co-author of the script.

  «Often good films receive less attention, not because they do not correspond to their quality, but simply under-formatted them», said Ernst. In his opinion, on the eve of the Day of Russian Cinema, it is symbolic that the film, which is certainly a powerful domestic blockbuster for all types of audience, is presented in Russia with the support of large media holdings.
  Anton Zlatopolskiy (ru), General Director of Russia-1, noted that the standard situation for the industry was the independent promotion of their products by the holdings. However, in the current situation, competition fades into the background.
  According to Vyacheslav Murugov (ru), head of STS Media, the support of the holdings will provide a cumulative effect in this composition.
