Head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has been explaining why he chose Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck to direct Captain Marvel.
“We’re pretty good at that at Marvel Studios, and have an amazing team that can help with that.
We want filmmakers that can help us focus on and elevate the character journey so it doesn’t get lost amongst the spectacle. And there’s going to be a lot of spectacle in the Captain Marvel film.
But when we’re filling a director chair or chairs, we want people who are focused on the emotional journey, the humor, the surprising twists and turns of a singular character journey, which is what Captain Marvel is.
