The Marvels director Nia DaCosta loves the respect she's felt in Marvels' production.
The Marvels director Nia DaCosta shared the best part of her Marvel experience so far. Recently, Vanity Fair caught up with the filmmaker to discuss her MCU debut. One thing she's really enjoyed so far is the respect from other industry professionals over the course of this process.
"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 says."The thing that I've been most surprised by lately is how much respect I'm getting from these middle-aged white dudes that I work with."
"I'm a big nerd from New York City, and here was this hero who was a big nerd from Jersey City, writing fan fiction the way I used to when I was that age," DaCosta told the outlet about her fandom.."It was really fun to feel close to that character in that really specific way, in a way you don't often feel when it's Iron Man or Thor. That was so exciting to me, knowing that I could be a part of bringing this character who I've loved for a decade to the big screen.
"The biggest challenge was finding the balance between my point of view as a director and as a comic book nerd," DaCosta reflected."Obviously, there are changes between the comics and the movies, and sometimes I'm like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa!' Sometimes Kevin [Feige] would be like, 'You're being too much of a nerd. Please stop.'"
