Captain Marvel Movie Loses DeWanda Wise

Captain Marvel Movie Loses DeWanda Wise

Back in January saw it reported that DeWana Wise was cast in the Captain Marvel movie in an unknown role, with some fans thinking Monica Rambeau.

Now Deadline reports the DeWana Wise has exited the movie, which has already started filming.

According to the report, the reason for DeWana Wise leaving the Captain Marvel movie is due to scheduling conflicts with her Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It.

The report makes no mention of a replacement.

Update: Lashana Lynch has been cast in the role.

Captain Marvel has a March 8, 2019 release date and is being directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck starring Brie Larson as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jude Law as Walter Lawson / Mar-Vell and Ben Mendelsohn is rumored to play the villain, Skrull commander / leader.

A previously released description for Captain Marvel offered: The superhero film will be set in the 90s, and the Skrulls, alien shape-shifters, will be the primary antagonists. After encountering the Kree hero, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was accidently subjected to otherworldly radiation that transformed her into a superhuman warrior. Calling herself Ms. Marvel, she established herself as one of Marvel’s most powerful and prominent heroes as a sole heroine and as a member of the Avengers. Recently, she adopted the mantle of Captain Marvel for herself.
