According to The Wrap, Marvel has tapped Selma director Ava DuVernay to direct one of its upcoming Phase Three movies, with the site reporting that Black Panther is the most likely candidate, although Captain Marvel is also a possibility.
The report goes on to state that Marvel “is intent on hiring an African-American director for Black Panther and a female filmmaker for Captain Marvel. DuVernay’s hiring would make her Marvel’s first African-American and first female director, which would no doubt double as a public relations boon for the company.”
Black Panther is set to star Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, and is slated for release on July 6th, 2018, with Captain Marvel following on November 2nd 2018.
