Marvel Studios confirms that $1.1 billion worldwide.
The reception and Carol's return in lead the entire MCU moving forward. But, the response to Captain Marvel has not yet seen any reports surface that a sequel is on the way. Captain Marvel 2 was believed to be on the way regardless, and now we have confirmation that it is.
During Marvel Studios' Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Feige announced that Captain Marvel 2 is officially on the way. While they confirmed that the movie is in development, they did not specify when it will hit theaters. Based on what Marvel did announce during the though, we know the movie won't hit theaters until 2022 at the earliest.
Confirmation that Captain Marvel 2 is on the way should hardly come as a surprise. The movie was a massive hit with audiences and was critically well-received as well. It would be a shocking move for Marvel Studios to not move forward with the franchise, especially when you consider all of the different avenues they have set up for future (or past) stories with the character. But, the movie does still appear to be in the earlier stages of development, as Marvel did not confirm any writers or directors for the sequel.
The point of this announcement was to ensure fans that it is on the way, but it isn't among the lineup of movies Marvel did confirm. Instead, it s the likes of 2022 or 2023 release date is most likely in the cards. This would see Captain Marvel 2 hit theaters either 3 or 4 years after the original film, which is a natural sweet spot. If this is the case, then it might be a while before another official update on the sequel arrives.
