Guess Marvel Studios must have really liked her work on the show .

Welp, can't always land that director consistency as much as you would like, but at least they're still involved .

Allegedly set in present day.

Because not every female Superhero solo movie needs to be a period piece .

And that deserves at least 5


Like I don't want to be mean to Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck who I'm sure tried their best but... honestly they brought like NOTHING to that movie that was really special or worth like keeping around. No offense to them or anything but if for various reasons Scott Derrikson wasn't going to be kept around for another Dr. Strange I was kind of hoping someone else would come around and replace them for another Captain Marvel film. At least Derrikson had some interesting visual ideas. These guys uh... liked out of context flashbacks I guess... honestly like with the original Avengers trinity, only one director really nailed it out of the park to really deserve to come back to do more. Which obviously with this bunch was Ryan Coogler who yeah if he was fired off Black Panther 2 that would be bad but this... yeah I'm all for.

And though I didn't like the two's film that much I still wasn't on the hate train for Captain Marvel or Brie Larson's take on the character and am perfectly fine with more. Part of me still wants to go with that idea of her coming back to Earth and getting her powers siphoned slowly away by Rogue and having to team up with Monica Rambau (who like becomes Photon) and Ms. Marvel Kamala Kahn but that's just me. I'd also be fine establishing more of the Kree/Skull war especially as that's what the teaser for Spider Man Far From Home teased (of you know Nick Fury working with the Skrulls setting up SWORD... I guess also going on vacation but you know hope the later is that) to have more Fury/Carol bits but I'd still be fine with more on the character. Especially as now we're not only in different hands but also past the origin. Thor IMHO got a lot better once we had an arc for him passed his intro (even in Thor the Dark World I liked him a lot more then in the original Thor) and I think Carol can too except for all the trolls totally willing just to hate on her for the sake of hating.

I'm sure that Kevin Feige is aware that, despite making billion dollars, the first Captain Marvel didn't exactly set the World on fire like Wonder Woman or Black Panther did. Not saying it doesn't have its passionate fans, but I think it's fair to say that the common consensus was that it was fine, but nothing noteworthy. And considering that Marvel is/was banking on Captain Marvel being the next cornerstone of MCU, it's understandable why they would want to take the sequel to a new direction.

 

[Magmaster12]

The last film turned out the way it did was because of the directing and how the script clearly needed an extra rewrite to create a more coherent story.

It wasn't a bad movie it just could have been a lot better, ironically if it came out in the 90's it would probably be the best Superhero movie of the decade.

 

[Freddy]

Although, to be fair, it probably also didn't help that Brie Larson shot her scenes for the Endgame before her own movie, so both movies had to play it safe with the character to not to step on each others toes. Hopefully, the sequel has more creative freedom.

If you’ve got the rights to Carol and Rogue, seems like you’ve got to do it.

I’m hoping Marvel Studios plans to take their time with the X-Universe and really build up those characters.

Marvel recently filed an LLC for "Warbird Productions II", (Warbird Productions was the first CM movie) so it appears Captain Marvel 2 is officially greenlit and the gears are churning.

 

[RoyalRubble]

April 3rd:
Reportedly it is scheduled for July 8th, 2022.

April 17th:
New rumor says the movie could work similar to Civil War in setting up a "New Avengers" movie, which might also have the same director. (Again, rumors since I don't recall hearing any updates about who's directing "Captain Marvel 2" yet)

EDIT:
And in this report that Spider-Man would be involved with the team, it's rumored that a "fan favorite" director tied to the character would direct.

 

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Though there was a lot of talk about how important Carol and Peter would be to the MCU's line up going forward so it would make sense to obviously have them as spotlight characters for a New Avengers, honestly I kind of thought if we were going to have a focus on a team in a Captain Marvel sequel it would be an A Force set up. I mean wasn't that whole ladies group shot done in Endgame to try and tease audiences what that team would be like thus wouldn't you want to do a movie with them? Maybe like it's more an A force team up but it ends with Captain Marvel deciding to set up her own Avengers team and be more involved on earth for some reason or another (as you would think an Avengers team lead would need to be) setting up The New Avengers. I guess we'll find out fairly quickly if this movie is coming in two something years but honestly I heard another rumor saying they weren't going to do anything major Avengers related in awhile and focus more just on you know the solo heroes. We'll have some sort of Avengers in the future but likely more towards the end of a phase 5 or 6 then in like a few years time. I also kind of wanted to see Ant Man and Wasp head up a Young Avengers team before we had New Avengers but eh dependent on whose doing it could be good. Though wait wasn't this sequel supposed to have a female director helming it so what "fan favorite" person are they talking about then with this rumor tease?

 

[Yojimbo]

^Yeah, I recall they were looking at female directors. I'm unsure if this article means she is the same one to direct this Avengers movies or if they're alluding to someone else. I think the latter.

Fascinating. Figured this would focus on Carol and S.W.O.R.D. but perhaps it will be seeding the need for the Avengers to continue, too? Hmm. I mean, without Thanos around, there's got to be a power vacuum in space and this movie could bring up who the next big cosmic threats to Earth are. Plus, Carol could have made a lot of enemies in the decades she spent in space.

 

[the greenman]

Personally, I am interested in seeing the Cosmic landscape increased. There are so many directions it could go.

5/11: Michelle MacLaren is reportedly in the mix to direct the Captain Marvel sequel and next Avengers movie. Anna Boden, Cate Shortland, and Chloe Zhao are also potentials.

7/27: Latest rumor is Ms. Marvel plays a supporting role, movie has a lot of important MCU characters, is a mini-Avengers movie, and adapts Secret Invasion.

 

[reflection01]

What Avengers would be in a mini-Avengers film in Phase 4?

Until we get confirmation, I'd go with maybe Thor or Hawkeye.

I could see War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Falcon/Captain America, Captain Marvel of course, Ant-Man, Wasp, maybe Black Panther, maybe Doctor Strange, and maybe Spider-Man if he ever gets exonerated. I'm on the fence about Hulk, Thor, or Hawkeye. Maybe some of these 12 will only be reserves - like for instance we don't yet know if Professor Hulk's arm will or can be healed so would he refrain from fights? Or Hawkeye, what's his status going to be after his show - finally retired/crippled - and will he have Kate Bishop put on the team in his place?

 

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Hmmm they could also make this that A-Force movie that was "teased" in Endgame and have this feature mostly the female MCU heroes. I mean if we're getting Miss Marvel I could also see them finding a way to put in Wasp, Valkyrie, Yelena Black Widow (since hey it was said she'd be the new BW after Natasha so why not start putting her into other films), Shuri, Okoye, heck if it involves Skrulls thus aliens also find a way to throw Nebula and Gamora in there. Like I mean if they are going to go hard on the Avengers characters why not throw down that gauntlet?

Though part of me also would like a focus of Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Doctor Strange. Because yeah aren't those supposed to be the three big new Avengers and second Trinity of characters since we're likely not going to see Iron man, Thor and Captain America Together again so shouldn't we get a focus of that new trinity in some form down the line? Either way a lot of these are just speculative rumors at this point so we'll see what actually begins to gel in the coming months/years.

 

[Magmaster12]

I think an Ultimates Adaptation is probably more likely since Carol is so OP and Black Panther is super popular.

 

[Yojimbo]

Nia DaCosta is set to direct it.

The new Candyman looks pretty cool .
