One should definitely consume this rumor with a significant portion of salt for the moment, but this tidbit seems to be getting noticed a bit, so I thought perhaps we should chew on the notion herein.
According to OK! (magazine), Marvel’s upcoming CAPTAIN MARVEL movie…which is said to feature the Carol Danvers version of the character…is orbiting a director of choice: Angeline Jolie.
An insider reveals that bosses at Disney-owned Marvel were so impressed with
Unbroken that they’re offering Angie $20 million for the gig. “Having
a female director is a priority for them,” explains the source,
adding that Angie is thrilled by the offer. “She never thought
she’d be in such huge demand as a director, and to be courted
by Marvel after the Sony fiasco is a huge pat on the back.”
…says OK! HERE.
Last night we learned that the CAPTAIN MARVEL picture would shift its release date to accommodate SPIDER-MAN’s entry into the (proper) Marvel Cinematic Universe. Once slated for July 2018, it’ll now open November 2, 2018.
