Actress DeWanda Wise is on board for a supporting role in "Captain Marvel", which stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn and Jude Law.
"Captain Marvel" will be Wise's first movie role, reports deadline.com.
She has earlier featured in the series "Shots Fired" and "Underground" and currently plays the lead role of Nola Darling in Netflix's series "She's Gotta Have It", which was renewed for a second season recently.
"Captain Marvel" is directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck with its script penned by Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman.
The project is based on the Marvel character Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot whose DNA is fused with that of an alien during an accident and becomes Captain Marvel as a result of being with the super powers of strength, energy project and flight.
Details of the plot are still under wraps. It is slated to release on March 8, 2019.
