There’s going to be a bit of a dynamic shift going on with the script for Captain Marvel. For the past few years, Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) were writing the script, which would be directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck of Mississippi Grind.

Now it looks like they are bringing in a new writer. According to a report, Gotham City Sirens writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet will now be penning the script. More on this below.

Marvel Studios certainly has an eye for finding talented directors. In their search for a director for Captain Marvel, the studio considered Niki Caro (Whale Rider, MacFarland, USA), Lesli Linka Glatter (TV’s Mad Men), and Lorene Scafaria (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World).

But it seems like those reports were off just a bit. There’s word that the duo who have worked on Half Nelson, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, and Mississippi Grind together, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, will direct Marvel’s first female-led superhero flick starring Brie Larson. More on the story below.

Marvel and DC may have a friendly little rivalry going on in both comics and movies, but they do share their similarities, most notably in their characters. They have rich boy heroes with high-tech gadgets at their disposal. They have speedsters, demi-gods based on mythology, powerful sorcerers, and archers. You get the gist. For the characters that have had their cinematic debut in their respective shared universe, their origins stories haven’t changed much, if at all.

But for Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel, which just cast Brie Larson as the title character, it looks like they’re straying away from the comic book’s origin story, and you have the 2011 Green Lantern movie to thank for that. More on the story below.
