Marvel Studios has found its director for Captain Marvel 2 by hiring Nia DaCosta to helm Brie Larson's sequel. It took the Marvel Cinematic Universe a decade to release their first female-led solo movie, with Captain Marvel hitting theaters in early 2019. The movie was a huge success, as it made over $1 billion worldwide in the lead up to Avengers: Endgame, which also featured the return of Larson as Carol Danvers.
The success of Captain Marvel made the sequel inevitable, and it was officially announced to be in-development during San Diego Comic-Con 2019. However, it wasn't until earlier this year that Marvel Studios gave Captain Marvel 2 a 2022 release date. Progress on the sequel has been steady, though, even after reports that Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck would not return to direct it. Now, the movie has taken a major step forward and filled the void.
According to Deadline, Marvel Studios has hired Nia DaCosta to direct Captain Marvel 2. DaCosta is the director of the upcoming Candyman reboot/sequel produced by Jordan Peele. She previously directed the film Little Woods, starring Tessa Thompson and Lily James. DaCosta will direct Captain Marvel 2 based on a script by WandaVision writer Megan McDonnell.
