We’ve been waiting, as patiently as possible, for Nia DaCosta’s updated take on horror classic Candyman for a while, with anticipation spurred on both by the fascinating glimpses DaCosta has released of the movie, and her established track record with 2019's Little Woods. And while Candyman’s October release date is still a few months out (and worryingly hypothetical, due to COVID-19), we can now add yet another log to that anticipatory fire. That’s courtesy of Deadline, which reports that DaCosta has been tapped to direct Captain Marvel 2.
