Captain Marvel Getting New Writer And New Script

>The Captain Marvel solo film has gotten a new screenwriter. Few of Marvel Studios’ upcoming titles are facing the same kind of expectations that Captain Marvel is. After all, not only will the film finally bring fan-favorite Carol Danvers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time, but it will also be the first female superhero-led Marvel Studios movie. Similar to next year’s Black Panther, the solo film will have to both pay the appropriate amount of respect to a long-awaited comic book character and be another successful step forward in diversifying the lineup of characters/franchises in the MCU.

>Fortunately, the Captain Marvel project is off to a good start so far, beginning with the casting of Brie Larson as Carol Danvers during Marvel’s Hall H presentation at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Earlier this year, the studio finally nailed down more of the project’s creative team with the hiring of filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden as the Captain Marvel directors. After proving themselves with critically-acclaimed indie titles like Half Nelson and Mississippi Grind, this will be the duo’s first foray into the blockbuster world.

Xaptain marvel is trans.

>>94671856
Marvel movies have writers?

>However, Captain Marvel has just undergone some unexpected behind-the-scenes creative changes. Deadline is reporting that screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet has officially been hired to write the script for the Marvel film. She will be replacing original screenwriters Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out). There’s no telling how this may or may not affect the film’s development process, but as of right now, Captain Marvel is expected to begin filming sometime in February of next year.
>Originally, LeFauve and Perlman had been hired to co-write the script for Captain Marvel, but LeFauve eventually had to leave the project in order to co-direct Disney Animation’s Gigantic. However, as far as fans were concerned, it looked as though Marvel was still moving forward with a script at least written by Perlman, who has had a positive work relationship with the studio, dating back to her original work on the first Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s certainly possible that one of Perlman’s other commitments (she’s also working on the Detective Pikachu movie) led to her stepping away from Captain Marvel too, or that Marvel decided to go in a different direction than what LeFauve and Perlman had in mind.

>Either way, this is another big get for Robertson-Dworet – a screenwriter who has been on the receiving end of some very high-profile jobs as of late. Not only is she the writer behind Warner Bros.’ upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, but she’s also currently set to write the script for DC’s Gotham City Sirens, which will be directed by David Ayer and feature the return of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Based on that resume alone, in addition to Marvel’s penchant for working with solid writers and directors, Robertson-Dworet’s hiring should (hopefully) only mean good things for Captain Marvel moving forward.

The MCU can make even obscure characters popular, as proven by GotG, which many predicted would flop.

They made characters like Iron Man and Scarlet Witch popular again, after the comics division utterly ruined them.

Carol could be a problem though because the temptation to make her a Mary Sue post-Wonder Woman may prove too strong.

Marvel Studios has the greatest combination of critical and financial success relative to the number of movies produced of any movie studio created after the 1930s. Better than Pixar and Lucas Film before the prequels and more efficient at making movies as well. Only James Cameron as a director is in the conversation as being at a similar level from a similar time period and without having had a decline, but he isn't as prolific in production. Marvel is making at least a hit per year now.

>>94675117
>How is the Guardians cartoon doing? How is the Guardians comic doing?

Those two don't matter, they make NO MONEY. They exist to drive toy and movie sales.

Nobody seemed to care when the movie kept going through potential directors and kept getting pushed back. I'm more than willing to blame shitposters poking at the DCEU rather than shills. MCU has been successful yet mediocre for almost a decade so it's hard to really bash them when things work out for them.

Look at Ant-Man, a lot of anons will point to that nightmarish production and how well (yet again mediocre) the movie came out.

>>94671941

She got replaced in GotG by Gunn so this is nothing new for her.

She still works with Marvel and she's still the reason they went with GotG in the first place.

>>94675050
Carol's origin is nothing like GL. I forgot if Feige or Perlman said that but it was a stupid comment.

That said Perlman, Markus and Mcfeely like Rich, they don't have the F4 rights so they don't have as many cosmic characters and they need to use the ones that they do have the rights to, Nova corps is already established, Marvel Studios want to expand cosmic, it's obvious they'll do Nova at some point.

Besides Green Lantern 2.0 was a blatant Lensman ripoff so people can't complain about Nova being a GL ripoff when everything after Alan Scott was a ripoff. Not to mention the GL movie flopped so badly that Marvel can step up and do Nova movie before the GL corps movie is even a thing.

Or just kill the Nova corps and focus on Rich as the last Nova which was the status quo for the Nova franchise most of the time (the corps got wiped out like what? three times?).

Phase 3 solo movies were partly about fatherhood.

Civil War- Zemo split the Avengers a part after the death of his family in Sokovia.

Doctor Strange- Kaecilius (?) started worshipping Dormammu after the death of his family, believing that all life should be eternal.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2- Ego was a homicidal Celestial who killed Meredith and used Peter.

Spider-Man: Homecoming- Adrian was a baddie who needed to provide for his family. Tony acts like Peter's surrogate father

Black Panther- T'Challa becomes the king and must honor his father's legacy.

Thor Ragnarok-Thor will be looking for Odin, his father in

Infinity War- Thanos, the father of Gamora and Nebula, is wrecking havoc.

Possibly, Phase 4 solo movies will be partly about motherhood.

Originally, the series consisted of the four novels Galactic Patrol, Gray Lensman, Second Stage Lensmen, and Children of the Lens, published between 1937 and 1948 in the magazine Astounding Stories.[2]:40 In 1948, at the suggestion of Lloyd Arthur Eshbach (publisher of the original editions of the Lensman books as part of the Fantasy Press imprint), Smith rewrote his 1934 story Triplanetary to fit in with the Lensman series. First Lensman was written in 1950 to act as a link between Triplanetary and Galactic Patrol and finally, in the years up to 1954, Smith revised the rest of the series to remove inconsistencies between the original Lensman chronology and Triplanetary.

Not really. It's fairly normal for Hollywood to bring in a new writer whenever they want another draft, rather than send it back to the writer who did the earlier one. The first X-Men went through more than two-dozen drafts by several writers.
