Prepare to experience it and fly higher, further, and faster with the film, directed by Nia DaCosta!”
Candymanreboot director Nia DaCosta will helm the project, withBrie Larson preparing to reprise the roleof the title character. The actress recently showed off her training regime with some very impressive one-arm pullups, which will no doubt come in handy when she comes face-to-face withFresh Meatstar Zawe Ashton, who recently signed on in a currently undisclosed role as the villain.
Wandavisionstar Teyonah Parris will reprise her role asMonica Rambeauin the sequel, with the actress recently offering some insight into working under the direction of DaCosta. “I just love her point of view,” Parris said. “I love her sensibilities, her visual sensibilities. She’s so smart. I was excited to work with her then and then when I heard about The Marvels, I mean, it’s history. She’s making history. She’s amazing and I can’t wait for the world to see all of the awesomeness that is Nia DaCosta.”
Standing alongside Larson and Parris is Iman Vellani as the final member ofThe Marvels. Vellani will star as Kamala Khan AKA Ms. Marvel, who has yet to make her debut. Leading the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series, Kamala is a 16-year-old Muslim Pakistani-American from Jersey City who is a huge fan ofCaptain Marvel, and later gains shape-shifting powers taking on the titular moniker.
Aside from these few details, not much else is yet known about the continuing adventures of Brie Larson’s cosmic superhero, though it has been revealed that the story will link to bothWandaVisionandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin some way.WandaVisiondirector Matt Shakman recently revealed that storylines seen in the Disney+ series will carry over into the wider MCU saying, “WandaVision was the focus while we were making it, and choices that we were making were then handed off to other films. The way we decided to describe Monica’s power, all of that stuff, it will continue on into Captain Marvel 2.”
