Don’t expect a Captain Marvel cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Fans expecting to catch a glimpse of Carol Danvers in next month’s Avengers: Age of Ultron should be prepared for disappointment. In an interview today with MTV, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that, even though a scene featuring Danvers was initially planned for the blockbuster sequel, it’s going to be a little while longer before we meet the MCU’s Captain Marvel.

“We didn’t want to introduce her fully-formed flying in a costume before you got to know who she was and how she came to be,” Feige explains.

Little is known regarding Marvel’s specific plans for Captain Marvel outside of the fact that the big screen film will feature the Carol Danvers version of the character.

Kevin Feige talks Captain Marvel movie, casting Brie Larson

Marvel Studios president and producer extraordinaire Kevin Feige knows the importance of the Captain Marvel movie, a highly anticipated film due in part to the character’s popularity and it being Marvel’s first female-led solo film. Speaking with Variety, Feige opened up about finding the right filmmaker.

“Having a female director at the helm to tell the story of a woman who is also our most powerful hero by far is very important to us…If you had the collector cards of the Marvel characters and you could see the power levels, she would be off the charts compared to anyone that we’ve previously introduced in a film.”

Feige also spoke about casting Academy Award winner Brie Larson, which was announced at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con.

“With Captain Marvel, who has powers that approach a level that we haven’t seen before in our films, you need to counter- balance that by finding somebody who is also very human and very relatable and can get into a groove with the audience, where they’re willing to see her fly through the sun and punch a moon away from a spacecraft. At the same time, we need her to land and have relatable flaws. Brie is a person you’re going to want to go on this journey with, just like Benedict or Robert or Chris Pratt.”

The search is still on for a director for the film with a previous report indicating Niki Caro (director of Whale Rider and Walt Disney Pictures’ McFarland, USA), Lesli Linka Glatter (primarily a director of television with episodes of The Walking Dead and Homeland under her belt), and Lorene Scafaria (director of The Meddler and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World) among those on the short list.
