According to The Hollywood Reporter, English actress Lashana Lynch (ABC’s Still Star-Crossed, Brotherhood) has replaced DeWanda Wise in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Captain Marvel.
More recently, Danvers took on the identity of Captain Marvel after being “promoted” to the moniker of the former Kree superhero.
The film will be a “period piece” for Marvel Studios and take place in the early 1990s with the Skrulls as the primary villains.
Captain Marvel is set to hit theaters on March 8, 2019 with Avengers 4 set to follow on May 3, 2019.
