“Captain Marvel” director shortlist revealedAugust 25, 2016 - 13:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - “Captain Marvel” is slowly zeroing in on a director. Niki Caro, Lesli Linka Glatter and Lorene Scafaria are on the shortlist for the highly coveted job of helming Marvel Studio's first female-centric superhero movie, The Hollywood Reporter cited several sources as saying. A decision won't be made anytime soon as Marvel is being very deliberate in its search, according to sources. The movie has a release date of March 8, 2019. Sources caution that there may be names yet to surface. Marvel had no comment. Brie Larson is attached to star as Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot who gains powers after her DNA becomes fused with an alien after an accident. Nicole Perlman of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Meg LeFauve of “Inside Out” wrote the script. Insiders tell THR that the next stage will involve Marvel giving a treatment and documents to the directors in order to prepare a detailed presentation. The three contenders were whittled from a shortlist of about a handful of contenders, which also included Jennifer Kent, helmer of the indie horror hit “The Babadook,” and Jennifer Yuh, director of “Kung Fu Panda 2.” Marvel has made finding a woman to direct the movie key in the search.
