Captain Marvel Is Leaving The '90s Behind For A Modern Sequel

Carol Danvers is about to take over movie theaters once more.


It looks like a sequel to Captain Marvel is officially in the works, and this time it's going to take the superhero out of the '90s and bring her into the present.


Marvel has asked Megan McDonnell, an employees writer on the upcoming Scarlet Witch and Vision-centric series WandaVision, to work on a script for the follow-up to one of 2019's biggest hits.


While McDonnell is still in final talks to seal the deal, it looks like excellent lengths are being taken to prepare ensure it's going to feature girls at the helm. Marvel is now looking for a women filmmaker to take over project because the studio is planning for a 2022 release date.


Unfortunately, there aren't any story specifics just but in back of the new chronological setting. Given the nostalgia of the '90s played such a huge role in the initial movie, it'll interesting to be able to see how things shift for the follow-up.


It shouldn't come as a surprise that another Captain Marvel-centered film is in the works, though. In its beginning weekend alone, the film raked in a dizzying quantity of money: $455 million in worldwide box office sales. Case in point, its earnings allowed it to claim the spot for the hugest weekend starting box office earnings for a lady fronted-film ever. That's some true girl power, right there.


So if you're still looking to take your Captain Marvel fandom higher, further, and faster, you may hope to begin counting down the days to 2022. There should be plenty of delectable reveals between right now and then. The one thing we have to know though, above anything else, is if Goose the cat will be reprising his role, and if it will be a bigger one than before. Those are the critical questions.
