The director will be Matt Shakman, one of the directors of “WandaVision”, the acclaimed series from Marvel Studios in partnership with Disney +.
Paramount President Emma Watts is reportedly looking forward to working with the filmmaker due to the success of “WandaVision,” which received no less than 23 Emmy nominations.
The script previously written by Noah Howley (“Legion”) is reworked by Lindsey Beer (“Sierra Burgess is a Loser”) and Geneva Robertson (“Captain Marvel”, “Tom Raider: The Inception”).
Still untitled and premiered, the sequel will also feature the return of JJ Abrams as producer.
