THE FLASH And LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Director Being Eyed For CAPTAIN MARVEL?
During their Hall H panel on Saturday, Marvel Studios announced that Brie Larson will play Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel. Now, it appears as if we can add yet another director to the list of candidates...
Bleeding Cool has spotted a Tweet from Punisher: War Zone and Supergirl director Lexi Alexander which seemingly reveals yet another filmmaker who is being considered by Marvel Studios to take the helm of Captain Marvel. Confirming that she personally isn't in talks to take on the gig, Alexander says that Rachel Talalay is. She's a director who has worked on Doctor Who, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow. It's also thought that she'll take the helm of the first episode of Sherlock season four.
Talalay also helmed cult favourite movie Tank Girl and the relatively obscure Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. There's a possibility that Alexander has got her wires crossed here and that Marvel may have already passed on Talalay, but she's certainly a very interesting candidate. We'll just have to wait and see. For now, Inside Out's Meg LeFauve is writing the screenplay alongside Guardians of the Galaxy scribe Nicole Perlman ahead of Captain Marvel's eventual release on March 8th, 2019.
