The directing duo is mainly known for their television work on series like The Affair and Billions but the duo did previously direct the 2006 film Half Nelson, which earned star Ryan Gosling his first Oscar nomination. They join an impressive pedigree with Infinity War directors The Russo Brothers, who directed many television series before moving to features.

Captain Marvel is scheduled to be released March 8, 2019. So expect more news as production begins.
