Captain Marvel 2will officially open in theaters on July 8th, 2022. Marvel Studios originally had a TBA release date set for July 29th, but it’s unclear if the sequel was supposed to take that slot or not. Marvel Cinematic Universe fans thought the earliest they’d see Brie Larson back as Carol Danvers would be 2023. Thankfully, they are wrong. The sequel news comes after it was revealed that Marvel Studios had to shift their entire MCU Phase 4 release schedule.
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who directed the first movie, are reportedly not returning forCaptain Marvel 2. It is believed thatMegan McDonnell is being eyed to write the script. With a release date in place, the hunt for a director is more than likely already now on, though that has not been confirmed. Marvel Studios is really good at keeping their secrets under wraps, so it could be a while before we learn who will be helming the highly anticipated sequel.
2019’sCaptain Marvelwas a prequel story which told thebackstory of Carol Danversin an interesting way. Now that the character has come to help Earth’s Mightiest Heroes inAvengers: Endgame, the possibilities are endless. While we don’t know who will be showing up along with Brie Larson, one can assume that Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury will have to make an appearance, along with Goose the Cat. We could also end up seeingCaptain Marvel 2take place in the past as she tries to help Talos and the rest of the Skrulls find a new home. It would be a good excuse to bring Ben Mendelsohn back into the cast.
