The Captain Marvelsequel may have found its commander. Nia DaCosta, director of this year's highly anticipated Candyman remake, will sit in the director's chair for the upcoming superhero film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Released in 2019, Captain Marvel was the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to feature a solo female lead. The sequel will again follow Brie Larson's adventures as the titular cosmic hero, this time scripted by WandaVisionwriter Megan McDonnell.
Marvel declined to comment on reports of DaCosta's appointment, but it's an exciting prospect. DaCosta would be the first Black woman to helm a film in the MCU, and the second woman of color. The first was Chloé Zhao, who was announced as the director of upcoming film The Eternalsin Sept. 2018.
The Captain Marvel sequel would also mark the fourth time a female director has steered an MCU film — and the third time they've done it solo. The first solo female director Marvel announced was Black Widow's Cate Shortland in July 2018, while the first Captain Marvelfilm was led by the directing duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
Captain Marvel2is currently scheduled for release on July 8, 2022.
