Girl power anyone? Producer Kevin Feige is keen on bringing more female superheroes on to the big screen and bringing a Marvel Cinematic Universe Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel appears to be one of the things they are working on right now.
Talking about a potential solo Black Widow film, Feige said, in an interview with Badass Digest:
"Frankly if we do a Black Widow movie after Age of Ultron, when she's been central in three or four movies I don't think we'd get the quote unquote credit for it. People would say 'She's already a big giant superhero!' But if we had a great idea, we'd do it."
When asked about the studio's plans regarding female superhero films, Feige said, "I like the idea if we're going to do a [female lead] do a new one. Do a wholly new character, do an origin story."
The Marvel producer then responded positively towards the prospect of doing a Captain Marvel film: "We've talked a lot about her," revealed Feige, "I think that would be very cool."
The Badass Digest interviewer stated that as per sources, an iteration of Captain Marvel onscreen by 2016 - either at the end of Phase Two or the beginning of Phase Three - in another Marvel movie, is in works.
While there hasn't been any casting news about Ms. Marvel, it seems that a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be set up to be Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel.
There are also rumors circulating that Chloe Bennet's character Skye would become the super heroine Ms. Marvel. There are no confirmation yet regarding Skye being Ms. Marvel but there are possible hints to the theory. As we all know Sky was shot down and left for dead in episode 13 and was saved thanks to a cure that was used in reviving Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) however, Coulson knew the "cure" is not what it seems as he finds out it came from a dead "blue alien" in the "Guest House" and he wants answers from Nick Fury. The blue alien might possibly be Kree as Lady Sif mentioned a number of blue aliens that she knows of during the new episode and the Kree is included in the bunch.
Skye's situation is mirrored to that of Carol Danvers when her damaged body is merged with Kree DNA giving her the same powers as them and became Ms. Marvel. We don't know for sure if this would happen in the coming episodes of agents of shield or in a one of the marvel movie credits.
For now, looks like fans will have to make do with Black Widow as a supporting character in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, when the film opens on 28 March, 2014.
