There's a lot at stake with the MCU's first female-led superhero movie, but casting Brie Larson as Carol Danvers is a damn smart move right out of the gate.

What's more, the film will follow Marvel's winning formula of cherry-picking indie filmmakers and giving them huge budgets, with the team of Anna Boden (Sugar, Mississippi Grind) and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson) winning directing duties. Furthermore, the screenplay comes from Oscar nominee Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) and Guardians of the Galaxy co-writer Nicole Perlman.

It remains to be seen whether or not Wonder Woman will get the ball rolling with a strong distaff superhero movie, though Captain Marvel seems like a much safer bet, especially if it's being stood next to Logan.
