TheCaptain Marvelsolo film has have a new screenwriter . Few of Marvel Studios ' upcoming claim are facing the same variety of expectations thatCaptain Marvelis . After all , not only will the film finally bring fan - preferred Carol Danvers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time , but it will also be the firstfemale superhero - top Marvel Studios movie . Similar to next year’sBlack Panther , the solo flick will have to both pay the appropriate amount of respect to a long - wait comic book character and be another successful footfall forward in diversify the lineup of characters / franchise in the MCU .

Fortunately , theCaptain Marvelproject is off to a good start so far , beginning with the casting ofBrie Larson as Carol Danversduring Marvel ’s Hall H presentation at last class ’s San Diego Comic - Con . to begin with this twelvemonth , the studio finally nailed down more of the project ’s creative team with the hiring of filmmakersRyan Fleck and Anna Boden as theCaptain Marveldirectors .

However , Captain Marvelhas just undergone some unexpected behind - the - scene originative change . Deadlineis report that screenwriter Geneva Robertson - Dworet has officially been charter to compose the book for the Marvel film .

to begin with , LeFauve and Perlman had been hired to co - write the handwriting forCaptain Marvel , but LeFauve finally had to result the project in parliamentary law toco - direct Disney Animation’sGigantic . However , as far as buff were concerned , it looked as though Marvel was still move forward witha book at least written by Perlman , who has had a irrefutable body of work relationship with the studio apartment , date back to her original work on the firstGuardians of the Galaxy . It ’s certainly possible that one of Perlman ’s other commitments ( she ’s also work on theDetective Pikachumovie ) head to her stepping aside fromCaptain Marveltoo , or that Marvel decide to go in a dissimilar direction than what LeFauve and Perlman had in head .

Either room , this is another big get for Robertson - Dworet - a film writer who has been on the receiving end of some very high - profile jobs as of late .

Based on that survey alone , in addition to Marvel ’s penchant for working with firm writers and director , Robertson - Dworet ’s hiring should ( hopefully ) only mean good things forCaptain Marvelmoving ahead .
