Plans for the sequel to Captain Marvel have been moving along for awhile with it originally set for a November 11th, 2022 release date with the new name of The Marvels. Of course, then the pandemic changed a lot of scheduling and planning along the way and the film eventually ended up with a February 17th, 2023 release date. With it beginning production in August 2021, Marvel Studios has now revealed that the film is being moved to a July 28th, 2023 debut after we saw the third Ant-Man film move up. According to Deadline, “Both Disney/Marvel films are moving along very nicely, we hear, but the Ant-Man sequel is further along in the production process, and it was a simple decision by the studio to swap the release dates.”
The film, directed by Nia DaCosta based on the screenplay by Megan McDonnell, is going to be an interesting one as it’s pulling together a few pieces and the upcoming Ms. Marvel series will debut ahead of it and feed into it with the lead from that series going to be in it as well as Teyonah Paris from WandaVision.
The cast for the film includes:
- Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel
- Teyonah Paris as Monica Rambeau
- Iman Vellani as Kamala Kahn / Ms. Marvel
- Zawe Ashton joined previously to play the villain in the film.
- Park Seo-joon
The first Captain Marvel film saw Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck tackling this project as co-directors, which was written by Inside Out co-writer Meg LaFauve with Guardians of the Galaxy writer Nicole Perlman. The cast Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury with Jude Law, Gemma Chan, and Ben Mendelsohn.
