One of the writers behind Guardians of the Galaxy is half of the writing team for Marvel's upcoming Captain Marvel movie...
Marvel's first female-driven superhero movie is getting a female-driven creative team. Nicole Perlman, who famously helped develop Guardians of the Galaxyfor the screen, is pairing with Meg LeFauve (The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Inside Out) to write the Captain Marvelmovie. Marvel has officially confirmed the whole deal now.
Kevin Feige recently revealed what many already knew: there had been plans to introduce Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but they balked, ultimately deciding that "We didn't want to introduce her fully-formed flying in a costume before you got to known who she was and how she came to be."
That statement from Feige indicates that Captain Marvel would be an origin story movie, although there have been some other indications that the studio would like to move away from the origin story format for as much of Phase Three as possible. Then again, they pulled off the Daredevil origin story quite elegantly in the new Netflix series without getting too bogged down by it, so maybe we shouldn't worry about it.
Captain Marvel is scheduled for release on November 2nd, 2018. We'll probably meet Carol Danvers before then. Meanwhile, Michelle MacLaren has just left the Wonder Woman director job. Perhaps Kevin Feige should get her on the phone for Captain Marvel...
