Following on from news about the relaunched Spider-Man and Doctor Strange titles, Marvel has now announced via Comic Book Resources that Agent Carter showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas are set to take over from Kelly Sue DeConnick as writers of Captain Marvel for a relaunched ongoing series post-Secret Wars.
“Carol is really meant to be a soldier and a commander, and also a diplomat,” states editor Sana Amanat. “We’re really trying to build up this space complex and this space world. You’ll really feel like there’s an extension of the Avengers world into space, but not necessarily lost out in the Guardians of the Galaxy cosmos. It’s rooted in Earth but also an extension into the galaxy.”
“We’ve slightly modified her costume to kind of reflect her new status quo. There’s been a lot of controversy about Carol Danvers’ haircut,” adds Butters. “We really wanted to make sure it was consistent and streamlined. Last year I think a lot of people couldn’t get her hairstyle — sometimes it was short, sometimes it was long — so we went in and designed exactly what she would look like. Kris really wanted to go shorter, because he felt it aligned with what her new look is all about.”
Captain Marvel #1 will arrive in the fall.
