Buried in its report that Larson is the frontrunner for the Captain Marvel project, The Hollywood Reporter notes that two names have surfaced as contenders to direct: Niki Caro (Whale Rider, McFarland, USA) and Jennifer Kent (The Babadook).
It’s interesting and refreshing that Marvel appears to want to reserve the Captain Marvel gig for a female voice.
And we think we know that they are zeroing in on hiring Brie Larson to play Captain Marvel.
Marvel’s planned Captain Marvel movie may be coming together much quicker than we anticipated.
