“I realized it wasn’t ever gonna be about how much power I amassed or how many great movies I made.'
The Big Picture With her first foray into the MCU, Nia DaCosta is breaking ground in film history. She's officially the youngest director and the first Black woman to helm a project for the superhero giant. The Marvels is easily the biggest project she has worked on to date too, following her rise from the indie film scene with films like Little Woods and her studio success with Candyman.
Throughout her career, DaCosta noticed how people treated her and talked to her differently as a young Black woman. Even aboard Candyman, her 2021 horror hit that reframed the 1992 classic with a modern Black perspective and was produced by Jordan Peele, she experienced a lack of respect that left her feeling uncomfortable.
The Marvels gave her some agency to control what that environment was like, and she ensured it was nothing like her experience on the Universal and MGM production. For starters, that meant building a team that she genuinely wanted to work with. “I realized it wasn’t ever gonna be about how much power I amassed or how many great movies I made, or if I won awards, it was always just going to be the people that I surrounded myself with,” she told Vanity Fair.
DaCosta Let Loose With 'The Marvels' The MCU has garnered a poor reputation for how it controls its artists, but DaCosta seemed to have a lot of room to work aboard The Marvels. Teyonah Parris, who reunites with the director after their time together on Candyman, spoke to the freedom DaCosta had to explore creative, colorful worlds with her film and to simply have fun.
The Marvels will get a bit wild as Carol Danvers battles the Kree revolutionary Dar-Benn who is hell-bent on exacting revenge. In the process, she explores a wormhole that ties her powers to two other mighty Marvels, Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau . They are reluctantly forced to work together to not only save the universe but also find a way to get themselves untangled from their current mess.
