With Brie Larson on board as Carol Danvers, Marvel is now turning its eye to directors for 2018’s Captain Marvel movie, and it seems the studio has identified three candidates to take the reins.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Niki Caro (Whale Rider), Lesli Linka Glatter (Ray Donovan) and Lorene Scafaria (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) have emerged as front runners, and will reportedly receive a treatment from Marvel in order to deliver a detailed presentation for the project.
