Yes, Captain Marvel is set to hit theaters on July 8, 2022, which seems far away, but the movie is starting to take shape.
The movie is shaping up to be really awesome, but the newest most exciting part is the script. Megan McDonnell is the screenwriter for the movie. At first I was concerned because she seems to have very little writing experience. Last week came the evidence that she is brilliant, she wrote the script for episode 3 of WandaVision. That episode was brilliant. It had more of a sinister vibe than an action vibe, but that is what the show requires and she did it in an awesome way. So yeah, now I am super excited that she is writing the script for Captain Marvel 2.
You know what else episode 3 of WandaVision had? An actress that will appear in Captain Marvel 2. This is a tiny spoiler for WandaVision. Teyonah Parris who plays Geraldine inside of the fake reality that Wanda lives in, actually plays Monica Rambeau. Yes, that little girl from Captain Marvel is all grown up now. In the comics she is her own superhero, so there is a chance she will become one on the big screen as well. Either way, Monica Rambeau is officially part of the Captain Marvel part of the MCU.
And as you know from the really long investor presentation, another famous Captain Marvel fan will join her on the big screen: Ms. Marvel. Iman Vellani will play Kamala Khan a.k.a. Ms. Marvel who we will come to know in her Disney+ show. She will appear on the small screen first and then step up to the big screen. Which makes sense as she is Captain Marvel's biggest fan.
Ms. Marvel won't be the only show leading up into Captain Marvel 2. Secret Invasion staring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as Talos will be lead straight to Captain Marvel 2. It makes sense, aliens were a big part of the first movie and they will be a big part of the second movie as well. You can't find someone strong enough to fight Carol Danvers, so you need someone sneaky. I think this is setting up Captain Marvel 2 in a very interesting way. It can be a really good action thriller, with the baddies looking like humans when they are not. Basically the premise that they were setting up in the first movie, but never fully used.
The director Nia DaCosta comes from the horror genre, which usually leads to excellent results in superhero movies. The trailer for Candyman looks so good that I am sure it is the reason she got this movie. Hopefully she will bring some horror into the movie, along with a more unique style that will fit the current style in which Marvel is in. The first movie was just a little generic, even though it was a lot of fun.
Captain Marvel 2 is shaping up to be a blast of fun with a touch of horror. Sounds excellent to me. Are you excited to see all of these changes?
