Guardians Of The Galaxy co-writer Perlman and Inside Out’s LeFauve have signed on to provide the script for the upcoming movie. So far, no casting has been announced as to who will play the lead role of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, but this is the first big step into how this movie will be packaged.
Before Perlman and LeFauve where announced as the scribes, rumours began circulating that Angelina Jolie is "definitely under consideration" to direct the movie. No more has been said regarding who will helm the film, but it common knowledge that Marvel are actively seeking a female director for the movie.
Captain Marvel will take the form of Danvers, a skilled test pilot whose DNA is melded with that of Kree warrior Mar-Vell, she gains powers such as flight, enhanced strength, damage resistance and the ability to absorb and re-channel energy.
After its initial unveiling at last years Marvel Event, where Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced the slate of movies in Marvel's Cinematic Universe Phase 3, Captain Marvel was given a 6th July 2018 release date. That has since changed, with it now being targeted for a 26th October 2018 release.
