Captain Marvel 2 director Nia DaCosta has revealed more about the themes the sequel will be tackling.

While speaking to Variety about her upcoming film Candyman, DaCosta described Captain Marvel 2 as "a very different beast," adding: "But I am obsessed with how we all deal with our pain and trauma, and there's some of that in the story."

It makes a lot of sense that the sequel will be delving into heavier topics: Monica's mother and Carol's best friend Maria Rambeau, played by No Time to Die star Lashana Lynch, was revealed in WandaVision to have died during the Blip. Her absence will most likely be a factor in the movie – as will the fact that there seems to be some tension between Monica and Carol.
