'Guardians...', 'Inside Out' scribes eyed for 'Captain Marvel'

Los Angeles: "Guardians of the Galaxy" scribe Nicole Perlman and "Inside Out" writer Meg LeFauve are said to be in negotiations to pen "Captain Marvel" for Marvel Studios.

The film still has not found a director or an actress to play the title character, though the studio has dated the film for July 6, 2018, reported Variety.

Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, was an air force pilot whose DNA was fused with that of an alien after an accident, giving her superhuman strength and even the ability to fly.

The film marks Marvel's first female-driven superhero movie.
