Marvel Studios is narrowing its search for the ideal director to helm Captain Marvel, and according to studio head Kevin Feige a decision on who will helm the film will likely be made within the next few months.
In an interview with Vulture, Feige said he expects to have a director selected by year's end. "We've been meeting amazing filmmakers," he noted, before explaining the studio's process in seeking out the right person for the job.
According Feige, the studio starts off each new film project with a general idea of what the movie will be before meeting and sharing the idea with potential directors, and then considering their pitch ideas. As such, it sounds like it's now just a matter of Marvel Studios deciding on which director's pitch to go with. If Feige's prior comments are any indication, Captain Marvel will likely be directed by a woman.
The studio boss also spoke a bit more about Brie Larson's role, confirming Captain Marvel will be the strongest superhero the MCU has seen yet. "With Captain Marvel, she is as powerful a character as we've ever put in a movie," Feige said. "Her powers are off the charts, and when she's introduced, she will be by far the strongest character we've ever had."
He also highlighted the fact that every character in the Marvel universe has flaws and a strong human element. As such, it will be crucial that they offset Captain Marvel's incredible power "with someone who feels real" and has "a humanity to tap into," which he is confident they can achieve with Larson in the role.
Captain Marvel opens in theaters on March 8, 2019.
