Captain Marvel 2 Officially Greenlit At Marvel Studios
After the box office success of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleckās Captain Marvel, most of us have long assumed that Carol Danversā MCU debut has a sequel on the way, but it wasnāt until last month that a report from THR finally confirmed that Captain Marvel 2 is in development.
Sure enough, according to Thomas Polito of Geeks WorldWide, Marvel Studios filed an LLC for āWarbird Productions IIā on February 13th. And since the first Captain Marvelās production went under the name āWarbird Productions,ā it stands to reason that Carolās second solo outing is now officially greenlit.
Itās been just under a year since Captain Marvel raked in over $153 million domestically on its first weekend. In the months that followed, the film would go on to gross a worldwide total of $1.128 billion, making it the highest grossing solo debut of the MCU to date, save for 2018ās Black Panther.
Seeing how Marvel superheroes have a tendency to do even better at the box office with their second solo outings, expectations are currently pretty high for Captain Marvel 2, even if official details remain in short supply.
One thing we did learn from the aforementioned THR report is that the movie will be set in present-day MCU, jumping over two decades forward from the events of the first film and presumably picking up where Avengers: Endgame left off.
Whatās more, we know that WandaVision staff writer Megan McDonnell is handling the script, though Marvel is reportedly still looking for a female director to helm the project.
Thereāll be plenty of time to learn more about Captain Marvel 2, which isnāt expected to hit theaters until 2022, but first, the MCUās Phase 4 kicks off with the release of Black Widow on May 1st of this year.
