Could Angelina Jolie be set to direct 'Captain Marvel'?
Signing up Jolie (pic) to the project would ensure that excitement and interest in "Captain Marvel" goes up a notch as well as bringing the character's strong feminist outlook to the screen.
Collider claims that Angelina Jolie, who most recently directed biopic "Unbroken," is being considered for the Marvel Studios project.
Captain Marvel aka Carol Danvers is one of the highest-profile female superheroes in the Marvel comic-book canon and so the studio has already signed up two of Hollywood's top female screenwriters -- Nicole Perlman (who co-wrote "Guardians of the Galaxy") and Meg LeFauve -- to ensure a faithful transition from page to screen.
Signing up Jolie to the project would ensure that excitement and interest in "Captain Marvel" goes up a notch as well as bringing the character's strong feminist outlook to the screen.
Although other publications have questioned the validity of the story -- Jolie has also been linked with the vacant "Wonder Woman" director's chair -- Collider is standing by its studio sources.
