Brie Larson (Room) is set to star in Captain Marvel following the character’s introduction in Avengers: Infinity War in 2018.
While the call is still out for Scarlett Johansson (Sing) to star in her own Black Widow movie, attention now is turned to another female hero in the Marvel ranks, Captain Marvel.
Additionally, Captain Marvel already has two female writers, with Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) and Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) penning the script.
Marvel’s creative head recently spoke on the importance of Captain Marvel and the pains they’re going through in order to make the movie right in an interview with Variety.
