Lashana Lynch is in final negotiations to replace DeWanda Wise in Captain Marvel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The English actress would be joining the Marvel Studios feature after Wise had to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts with the second season of Netflix and Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It.

Marvel could not be reached for comment.

Filmmaking duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing the superhero studio’s first female-fronted standalone, which stars Oscar-winner Brie Larson. Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn will also star in the film, which is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury (with two eyes!).

In the comics, Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, who becomes a hero when her DNA is fused with an alien’s after an accident.

Captain Marvel — out March 8, 2019 — marks the biggest role to date for Lynch, a Shondaland alum, who starred in the short-lived ABC period drama Still Star-Crossed. Lynch, who was awarded the Laurence Olivier Bursary while a student at AES, has also appeared in indie features Fast Girls and Brotherhood.

She is repped by ICM, the U.K.’s BWH and Alan Siegel.

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion; I have shudder’d at it. I shudder no more. I could be martyr’d for my religion. Love is my religion. I could die for that. I could die for you. My creed is love and you are its only tenet. - John Keats

A love like ours can burn down a city.

All this is your fault. How on earth do you blame me? If you’d calmed Tybalt down instead of fanning the flames, or if you’d killed him yourself instead of letting Romeo do it, none of this would’ve happened. Our city wouldn’t be in ruins. Neither of our families would’ve lost their heirs. Of course it’s my fault Montague and Capulet only managed to squeeze out a single child apiece. And if I’d only thought to sacrifice my own life. Did you never think you could’ve kept Juliet from marrying my cousin in the first place? Maybe all this is on you. Maybe. So I’ll not burden you with my presence. Thank you for saving me. Goodbye. You’re welcome!

What are you doing? Just thought I’d check in on my beloved. Ugh. You must be enjoying playing dress-ups with the noble ladies of the court. If it were up to me, I’d be halfway to a nunnery by now. A nunnery? You? You know nothing about me and you never will. I do know some things. Not enough to build a life together, but I suppose we’ll get there. Fear not. We aren’t going to have to. Capulet, are you plotting something?
