Earlier in the week Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed that the upcoming Captain Marvel movie will “certainly” be an origin story, and now in an interview with IGN, the producer has discussed the search for a director on the project, as well as stating that Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers is “”by far the most powerful character we’ve ever introduced.”
“I do think it will be not a requirement to make a great version of Captain Marvel, but it’s something we think is important,” said Feige. “With all of our movies, we want them to be different, we want them to find the new voices. I think the fun thing is we’re meeting so many great directors that we’ll bring one of them onto Captain Marvel, but we have future things to come [for the others]. We’re trying to get a little more of the story set before we bring a filmmaker on so we can talk about the story with the filmmaker before we bring them on.”
“What is one of the coolest things about it is she will be by far the most powerful character we’ve ever introduced in the movie,” he continued. “‘How do you find those limitations? How do you find those vulnerabilities?’ is something that is sort of at the crux of the story that we’re putting together. She has — as you know from the comics — an interesting story, and I think we have a very cool and unique way of telling that story. I don’t think it’s leaked yet exactly what we’re doing with her movie or how we’re doing it, but it will be cool. She will prove to be a very important character in our universe for all the movies.”
Captain Marvel is expected to make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Avengers: Infinity War, ahead of her solo movie in 2018.

I’ve been a Marvel fan prolly longer than you Kevin and she is not stronger by far. She’s as strong as X-Mens Rogue because Rogue stole her powers and Rogue has strength between Ironman and Captain America. She’s no Hulk or Thor. Watch X-MEN, watch Rogue and that is the same powers Captain Marvel has. Yes she can fly though. That’s the most important part of doing the Marvel movies since they are all about superheroes, balancing their strengths and weaknesses.
Timo Qvintus says
Feige didn’t talk about strength, not once.
Andrew Gonzalez says
Lol, you woke me up. Thank You lol.
Red Polygon says
Someone remind Feige that they’ve made a couple Thor movies.
Timo Qvintus says
If you think physical strength is the only measure of power, I feel bad for you.
Red Polygon says
If you think physical strength is the only kind of power possessed by Thor, you probably shouldn’t be posting here.
Timo Qvintus says
If you think I shouldn’t be posting here, you probably shouldn’t be posting here
Red Polygon says
If one misplaced and erroneous presumption followed by a feeble rejoinder like this is all you bring to the table, perhaps you *actually* shouldn’t be posting here.
Timo Qvintus says
I’m not taking you seriously at all, and thus my replies are not serious either. If you seriously think that Feige doesn’t know they made Thor movies, you shouldn’t be posting here, or anywhere for that matter.
Red Polygon says
That’s good to know. If you seriously think I think Feige doesn’t know about Thor movies, then… I suppose we’ve done this enough times, yes?
Timo Qvintus says
Absolutely
EaglesEatOwls says
Timo, you post on a vast majority of these articles and this statement perfectly represents how highly you always seem to think of your opinions when most of the time you just whine and cry about how all the comic book movies and shows suck because they aren’t like the comics. You’re just another fanboy in the sea of crying fanboys, there’s nothing special about your opinion. If you don’t like what the studios put out then go back to the pages.
Timo Qvintus says
Bitch please. Read my comments, I hardly ever comment about the movies not being like the comics.
Quinn Wilx says
I thought Captain Marvel was a DC character…
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
The DC Captain Marvel now goes by the name Shazam, and the Marvel Ms. Marvel is called Captain Marvel

..who took up the mantle from a deceased Kree warrior who was involved with her getting her powers..
