Angelina Jolie might be in the running to direct a movie based upon the Captain Marvel comic book character. According to OK! Magazine, Marvel is ready to pay $20 million for Jolie to direct the film. It follows her directorial success with last year’s Unbroken, which was a hit at the box office, having so far made almost $160 million on a budget of $65 million (source: Box Office Mojo).

The movie will represent Marvel’s first female-led superhero film, and is slated to hit theatres July 2018. Jolie is keeping busy before that date regardless, as her next stint in the director’s chair will be with By the Sea, a movie which she has written and will be starring in alongside husband Brad Pitt.
