For now, I’ll remain optimistic, but it’s still a bit disappointing that Marvel didn’t hire a solo female director to helm their first solo female superhero movie.
No, you’re not reading that incorrectly, and it’s not a typo: Marvel has hired not one, but two directors to take on Captain Marvel, the studio’s highly-anticipated (and first) solo female superhero film featuring Brie Larson in the title role.
Mississippi Grind directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have officially signed on to helm Captain Marvel — an interesting and unexpected choice (or choices) for sure, but one that may be somewhat disappointing to fans.
Captain Marvel is slated to hit theaters on March 8, 2019.
