‘Captain America 4’ Finds Its Director in Filmmaker Julius Onah (Exclusive) - Hollywood Reporter

Captain America 4 has a director.

Nigerian-American filmmaker Julius Onah, perhaps best known for helming the 2018 thriller The Cloverfield Paradox, will direct the fourth installment of the Captain America film franchise for Marvel Studios.

Anthony Mackie is starring in the feature, reprising his long-time Marvel character of Sam Wilson, but not, however, Wilson’s long-time alter ego and Captain America sidekick, Falcon. That is thanks to the events of 2021’s Marvel’s Disney+ series, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which saw Wilson, after much self-doubt, finally accept the shield and mantle of Captain America.

It’s not known what the paths for the character will be next, but something thought-provoking is likely. Malcolm Spellman, the creator andhead writer of Winter Soldier, is penning the script with Dalan Musson, a staff writer on the show.

It is unclear whether Chris Evans would reprise his role of Steve Rogers, AKA the first Captain America (although if the question of who is entitled to carry shield continues to be posed, all bets are off. Plus, having stacked casts in solo movie outings is a main Marvel ingredient at this point.)

No start date has been revealed.

Onah was born in Markurdi, Nigeria and lived in locales around the world thanks to a diplomat parent before settling in the U.S. His shorts made the festival rounds, while his NYU film school thesis movie attracted Spike Lee as an exec producer.

J.J. Abrams tapped him to direct a feature set in the producer’s Cloverfield world and while that studio movie misfired, he gained strong notices for his return-to-his-roots rebound, the 2019 indie drama Luce. The Neon movie starred Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and  Octavia Spencer and debuted at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. It garnered three Indie Spirit Award nominations, including best director.

Onah is repped by WME.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
