In just over a year from now, Marvel Studios will release their first solo female-led standalone movie when CAPTAIN MARVEL hits theaters. Not much is known about the film except it will take place in the 90s, adapt the Kree-Skrull War story from the comics, star Brie Larson in the title role as Carol Danvers, Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as Nick Fury, Jude Law will be Mar-Vell, Gemma Chan as villain Doctor Minnerva, and Ben Mendelsohn is rumored to be a military-like Skrull alien villain.
While doing promotion for the TOMB RAIDER reboot, screenwriter Geneva Robertson-Dworet — who came onboard for a script re-write last August — spoke to EW a little bit about the tone of the script for next year's CAPTAIN MARVEL.
“Captain Marvel has a very funny voice, and it’s more of an action-comedy, more like what we were talking about doing in the first draft I wrote for Tomb Raider…. [but] that tone survived in Captain Marvel. I love funny female characters, so as Tomb Raider got more serious, I got even more committed to the idea of Captain Marvel being hilarious.
“Carol Danvers is one of the funniest comic book characters. She’s so sassy, she’s such a smartass, she won’t take sh— from anyone, and the comic books do an amazing job at capturing that voice, and it was important that the entire Captain Marvel creative team [kept to that].”
CAPTAIN MARVEL is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck and releases in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2019.
