There’s a lot of hype and speculation going around right now regarding casting for the lead role in “Captain Marvel.” Ronda Rousey has gone on record saying that she wants the role and many fans have continuously thrown Emily Blunt’s name into the mix. Unfortunately though it sounds like we’re going to have to wait a while before we know who will be playing Carol Danvers as Kevin Feige confirmed that Marvel won’t be casting the role this year.
“There won’t be any announcements about that this year. I think right now we’re scripting the film, figuring out who we want Carol Danvers to be, and really what the structure of the movie will be and what her part will be in some of our other Phase 3 films. And it would be next year that we start to really think about casting.” Feige told MTV.
That doesn’t mean that fans should stop talking about who they want in the role though. Feige revealed that the people at Marvel actually do look at what the fans are saying.
“We read it, we go through it, we read the comments, we look at who people like. Sometimes it’s really enlightening. Sometimes it’s the exact same person that they’ve been saying over and over again that we don’t think is right. It’s always fun to kinda go through it and see what people are up to.” Marvel producer Jeremy Latcham added.
“Captain Marvel” will be hitting theaters on November 2, 2018.
