'Captain Marvel 2' Movie in the Works With 'WandaVision' Writer

The company has tapped rising scribe Megan McDonnell, a staff writer on the Marvel-based series WandaVision, to pen a script for a follow-up to the 2019 pic that starred Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson. McDonnell is in final negotiations to seal her deal.

Sources say that Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who co-wrote and directed the initial film hit, will not return to helm the sequel but are in talks to remain in the Marvel Universe and direct a possible Disney+ series. Marvel is hoping to find a female filmmaker for Captain Marvel 2 and is eyeing a potential 2022 release.

Details of any high-flying take were not revealed, but the new story will move the setting from the 1990s of the original movie to the present day.

Finally, some news! The script writer is especially intriguing, since Monica Rambeau is in WandaVision and will presumably also be in CM2.

2022 seems awfully optimistic if they don't even have a producer or a script yet. Nice that they're finally working on it, though!

Heh that's a good point. Maybe late 2022? And I'm not one of those people who can keep track of Marvel's entire proposed release schedule in their head, so I have no idea what else it'd be competing with that year.

Just glad it's in the works! Getting Carol in two movies so close together, and then no Carol on the horizon, well . . .

Yes, exactly. Forward progress!
