Marvel Said They Are In No Rush To Find A Director For Captain Marvel

 

If you’ve been waiting impatiently for Marvel to announce who they’ve chosen to direct 2019’s Captain Marvel movie, we’ve got some bad news. Though several names have popped up on the rumour mill over the last few months, it appears that the studio is in no rush to announce anything

According to Justin Kroll, who says Marvel is currently trying to find a script that they like and are in no hurry to choose someone to direct – which makes sense when you think about it. Without a finalized script in place, there wouldn’t even be too much for a director to do right now. We know that the studio intends to go with a female for the job but aside from that, we’ve got no real indication as to who they’re leaning towards. Names like Rebecca Thomas and Niki Caro have been tossed around, among others, but with Marvel still taking meetings, we likely won’t hear about a final choice for some time. And honestly, that’s alright with us.

There’s more than enough to look forward to from the studio over the next few years without having to worry about Captain Marvel. Sure, the film has a lot riding on it, being a female-led comic book movie with a female director, but we really have no reason at all to doubt Kevin Feige and co. as they haven’t let us down yet and they no doubt know how important this particular project is to their overall plan.
