Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, the duo who previously directed Mississippi Grind and It’s Kind of A Funny Story, will helm Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel, according to Variety.
Fleck and Boden were not on the original directors shortlist for the project, which included such names as Niki Caro, Jennifer Kent, Rebecca Thomas, Jennifer Yuh, and Lesli Linka Glatter.
Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson as the lead; it’s being written by Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman, who previously scripted Pixar’s Inside Out.
