'It’s a Marvel film... but I also have my name on it, so I want to be able to be proud of it too.”
The Big Picture In recent years, the MCU has pulled in a murderer's row of filmmakers to create their big-budget blockbusters. Taika Waititi, Chloé Zhao, Scott Derrickson, and Ryan Coogler are just a few of the auteurs who have worked with the superhero giant in recent years. Enter Nia DaCosta who will see her own MCU project The Marvels hit theaters in less than two months.
The Marvels is looking to end a lengthy slump for the MCU that has seen films like Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder and shows like Secret Invasion earn far more scrutiny from audiences and critics alike. Part of the struggles comes down to how much control is exerted on the people behind the camera. It wasn't long ago that Marvel was seen as not "director friendly" with a clear need to give directors more space to make their superhero movies sing.
The last thing she wanted, however, was to give up too much control for The Marvels and make something that didn't reflect the quality of the rest of her work. "People are like, ‘Oh, it’s a Marvel film. Cool, cool, cool,’ but I also have my name on it, so I want to be able to be proud of it too.” Regarding making her voice heard, she turned to Coogler who twice found success in Black Panther and its sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Nia DaCosta Is Confident 'The Marvels' Can Buck the Trend Now that everything's said and done, DaCosta has a lot of confidence in The Marvels to win over audiences. Her film embraces the wackiness of its story surrounding Captain Marvel , Ms. Marvel , and Monica Rambeau , something that she says gives it an edge overall.
The Marvels sees Carol Danvers trying her best to keep the universe together before a wormhole causes her, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau to start swapping places. Their strange circumstances force them to reluctantly work together to search for a solution and face down a new Kree threat in the revolutionary Dar-Benn whom DaCosta takes a much different approach to than the comics. Samuel L. Jackson, Park Seo-joon, and Zawe Ashton are also set to star.
