According to The Hollywood Reporter, Australian director Cate Shortland will helm the project from a script by blacklist screenwriter Jac Schaeffer.

Marvel met with over 65 directors including Deniz Gamze Erguven (Mustang), Chloe Zhao (The Rider) and Amma Asante (A United Kingdom) before deciding on Shortland. Asante, as well as Maggie Betts (Novitiate), Melanie Laurent (Galveston) and Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) were also in the mix as well.
