Amy Adams and Charlize Theron are on the shortlist for a top secret Marvel movie that has just been put into development.
Clarkson, who has worked on series including Jessica Jones and Succession, was previously attached to a fourth Star Trek movie.
Veteran TV director SJ Clarkson has signed on to direct the project, which is believed to be the first female-fronted comic book movie to be produced by Marvel and Sony.
Both Adams and Theron have reportedly been mentioned as stars Sony wish to speak to for the part, but neither have committed to the role or met with production.
