'Captain Marvel 2' is happening and fans just have to wait till 2022 to see the return of Brie Larson's snarky superhero. Megan McDonnell, who served as a staff writer on the series 'WandaVision', had also written the script for 'Captain Marvel 2'. While Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck will not return for the sequel, Nia DaCosta will take on the reins of the film, and is the first Black female MCU director. 

Here's all you need to know about the sequel.

Release date

'Captain Marvel 2' is slated to release on November 11, 2022. 

Plot details

The sequel will take place in "the present day," which means the present-day of the current MCU. The events of 'Avengers: Endgame' took place in 2023, so in all probability, Carol Danvers's latest adventure would be seen in that year as well. Though Carol did not have much of a role in 'Endgame', she was present during the final showdown with Thanos (Josh Brolin) and helped in restoring peace to the universe. In the first film, Carol struggled to remember her identity, as she was thrown in the war between the Skrulls and Krees. She learns about her past and embraces her powers as Captain Marvel.
