CAPTAIN MARVEL Co-Writer Discusses Taking on The Powerful Superhero
Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel is being co-written by screenwriter Meg LeFauve, who also wrote Pixar’s upcoming film The Good Dinosaur. She is writing the script with Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer Nicole Perlman, and in a recent interview with Collider, LeFauve offered an update on where they are at in the process and how they will approach the powerful superhero.
"Yeah, we haven’t started yet! We have not started yet. We just got the phone call to come over to Marvel. But for me personally, the wonderful thing about her and the challenge of her is going to be that she’s a female superhero. And that is awesome because she’s so powerful, and how hard is that going to be because she’s so powerful? We don’t want the Superman curse. “What’s her vulnerability?” is what we have to figure out."
For those of you not familiar with Carol Danvers a.k.a. Captain Marvel, she is a lot like Superman as she has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and durability. She can also has the power of flight, can absorb energy, has Photonic blasts, and even has a precognitive “sixth sense."
I’m really curious to see how this character will actually be handled in the cinematic universe. There’s so much potential, and I’m sure that they’ll find the heart and soul of her story. Ronda Rousey wants the lead role in the movie, and she wants to prove to Marvel that she's got what it takes.
