Yesterday, it was announced that Geneva Roberston-Dworet (Tomb Raider, Gotham City Sirens) would be joining the Captain Marvel scripting team as Meg LeFeauve is moving on to co-direct Disney’s Gigantic.
Co-writer Nicole Perlman confirmed she was also leaving the project while also giving Geneva a warm welcome to the Captain Marvel team.
Happy to confirm my pal Geneva Robertson-Dworet will be the next writer to help guide #CaptainMarvel‘s journey to the screen. She’s stellar!

Today, Nicole updated us a bit on how the script is shaping up and also debunking talk that the script is getting a complete page-one rewrite/overhaul, which was never reported only assumed by some outlets.
Let’s keep in mind, Meg and Nicole have been writing the film for two and a half years and production is only four months away. A complete rewrite would be an impossible task this close to shooting.
Nicole confirmed the things announced by Kevin Feige at Comic-Con (Skrulls, Nick Fury, 1990s setting) are staying in place.
No – Geneva is taking it from here and I’m sure she’ll knock it out of the park. It’s been a great 2.5 years though. 😉

Yes, of course. All the ideas the SDCC Marvel panel shared this year were pre-Geneva’s involvement. Others will stay too. Can’t say more.

Which is all to say – it’s going to be fine, and the project is in excellent hands.

Thanks to @CaptMarvelNews for the heads up.
Captain Marvel is set for release on March 8th, 2019.
