While Marvel Studios hasn’t officially commented on this news yet, one of the pair of directors who brought the first “Captain Marvel” film to life, Ryan Fleck, has commented on the DaCosta news:

Congratulations @NiaDaCosta !!!!!!
Can't wait to see where you take this! Anna and I are thrilled for you and wishing you the very best! Higher Further Faster! #CaptainMarvel2

Fleck and co-director Anna Boden first introduced the Marvel Comics character to the MCU in 2019, which feels like 10 years ago already.

We’ll of course let you know what else we hear about this and other Marvel projects.
