Captain Marvel Film Will be Character Focused
Despite not coming out until 2019, there’s still a lot of hype for the upcoming Marvel Studios project, Captain Marvel. The upcoming film will not only feature the fan-favorite character Carol Danvers in a leading role, but it will also be the first female-led Marvel film. That being said, with the recent hiring of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck as directors, some people are wondering where the focus of the film will be and if the indie filmmakers can handle a film about a superhero. Marvel Studios President and producer Kevin Feige revealed that the film will be a character-centric film, and it will be focused on Carol Danvers as a character. Despite Captain Marvel’s imposing power set, the film will still present Carol Danvers as a fleshed out, developed character. He also spoke on what Marvel searched for with the film’s directors.
“We cast a pretty wide net,” Feige told Vulture. “It’s always based on people who’ve done things that we thought were interesting, at any level. We haven’t hired anybody who’ve never done a feature before, but what gets you in the room is doing interesting work in television and interesting work in features, both of which they’ve done. And then it’s about the conversation and the vision that we see.”
Feige added, “Captain Marvel will be, by far, the most powerful superhero in Marvel’s cinematic universe.” He continued, “[The story] ultimately needs to be about the three-dimensional, multilayered Carol Danvers character. You have to be able to track her and follow her and relate to her at all points of the movie, regardless of how many visual effects and spaceships and bad guys are filling the frame. That’s what’s important.”
Captain Marvel is due to arrive in theaters on March 8, 2019.
