Latest Development On Captain Marvel

 

Much like its prolonged hunt for Carol Danvers, one that ended with the casting of Room breakout Brie Larson, Marvel Studios is slowly but surely narrowing its search for a director to take the reins on Captain Marvel.

According to report, Niki Caro, Lesli Linka Glatter, and Lorene Scafaria have found their way onto the shortlist for the high-profile directing gig. Whether or not their addition effectively rules out the likes of Jennifer Kent and Jennifer Yuh is up for question, but next up for Marvel now will be presenting each of these alleged candidates with an early treatment of the script.

Speaking of which, it is Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve who are currently hashing out the script for Captain Marvel‘s silver screen bow. It’s an origin story that is set to undergo “a lot of reinvention” ahead of 2019, however, according to Perlman. “There’s a lot of reinvention that needs to happen. And she’s also her own person and she’s a great character. We have to be aware of what’s happened in other Marvel films and make sure that her particular storyline is unique and fun and also fits in within this world that’s going on at the same time. It’s a little bit of an interesting story gauntlet. It’s been good to have a partner. It’s been an incredible experience. If we can pull it off, it could be an incredibly important but also really fun and kick-ass superhero film.”
