Gunn, who is also co-writing and directing Guardians of the Galaxy 2, spoke about his desire to see more complex portrayals of women in film.
He ties this all to Guardians Vol. 2, indicating that its female characters will fulfill those goals.
Nicole Perlman drew attention for co-writing the film with director James Gunn, and she has since been tapped to write the Captain Marvel script.
Guardians of the Galaxy brought something else to the franchise besides bawdy fun and big bucks; it was also Marvel’s first ever film to have a female screenwriter.
