Waiting for day when woman directing superhero film won't be news worthy: Anna Boden

Anna Boden says she is waiting for the day when women filmmakers directing an action-packed superhero film will be a routine and not something headline worthy.
Boden, who has co-directed the first female-fronted Marvel superhero film 'Captain Marvel' along with Ryan Fleck, said making a film on a character which already enjoys immense fan following was an amazing experience for her.
"This is the movie I really wanted to be a part of. It has been really amazing to work on this canvas with a character that so many people care so much about. But it's 2019 and everybody here looks for the day when it is not news worthy that a woman is directing this kind of movie," Boden said at a press conference here on Thursday.
'Captain Marvel' features Brie Larson in the titular role alongside Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury without his iconic eye-patch.
The film, which will hit the theatres in India on March 8, also features Jude Law, Gemma Chan, Ben Mendelsohn, Clark Gregg, Djimon Hounsou and Lee Pace.
