Marvel has tapped “Mississippi Grind” helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck to direct the upcoming tentpole.[/quote]
[quote]The studio met with multiple contenders for the directing job, and sources say that Marvel not only wanted to make sure that the search was thorough, but that the script was in the right shape before signing a director.[/quote]
[quote]Execs met with the two numerous times and the pair impressed the studio time and time again with their vision for the heroine. Boden and Fleck have experience in both the TV and film world, which Marvel considers a strength.[/b][/quote]
[quote]Best known for their character-driven dramas like Ryan Gosling’s “Half Nelson” (2006) and Ryan Reynolds’ “Mississippi Grind” (2015), Boden and Fleck also directed episodes for such popular TV series as Showtime’s “The Affair” and “Billions.”[/quote]
[quote][b]“Inside Out” scribe Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman are currently writing the script, which follows Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot whose DNA is fused with that of an alien during an accident. The resulting alteration imbues her with the superpowers of strength, energy projection, and flight.
I remember these co-directors were in talks before (to do either Guardians or Thor, I can't remember which). Seems like Marvel kept them in mind and is impressed with their work.
And much like Thor: Ragnorok's director, Taika Waititi, these two have a really good track record so far. I think Captain Marvel is in good hands!
