As Marvel prepare for the release of their highly-anticipated summer sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the attention of fans will soon turn to some of it’s future projects as they begin their journey to the big screen. Black Panther has finished filming, Avengers: Infinity War is knee-deep into its huge production and now Captain Marvel has found it’s director. Or should we say directors.

As with many of the other films, Kevin Feige has scoured the film world for his director’s of the latest big-screen adaptation and again has chosen from independent filmmakers to take on one of their juggernaut properties. His choices: Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the directing duo who have collaborated for the past decade, Variety reports.

Following such filmmakers as James Gunn, Anthony and Joe Russo and Taika Waititi, Feige and co have chosen to give those from smaller films the chance to take on a Marvel blockbuster. Fleck and Boden have worked together on many films and television shows before, with Half Nelson and Mississippi Grind their most notable films, as well as working on such shows as Billions and The Affair.
