The Marvels director Nia DaCosta gets candid about directing her first Marvel film and creative freedom in the MCU. In a recent interview with Variety, DaCosta revealed that she contacted directors who previously worked on Marvel projects, like Chloé Zhao, James Gunn, and Taika Waititi, for guidance on whether to direct The Marvels. The 33-year-old director was initially concerned about working with executive producer Kevin Feige for the first time.
Nia DaCosta says that The Marvels is really a Kevin Feige movie, and while she enjoyed playing in the MCU, she is ready to move on.
