Nia DaCosta Enters the Marvel-Verse
|
Nia DaCosta, director of The Marvels, is not only Marvel’s youngest director ever, but also the first Black woman to helm one of the studio’s films. “We were just very impressed with her indie cred—and her nerd cred,” Kevin Feige tells Rebecca Ford in the latest issue of VF. DaCosta is also, of course, an artist—one used to having more autonomy than the Marvel machine generally affords a filmmaker. “People are like, ‘Oh, it’s a Marvel film. Cool, cool, cool,’” she tells Ford. “But I also have my name on it, so I want to be able to be proud of it too.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Bill Maher reverses course; Chris Evans thinks about doing the same; Chris Murphy catches up with Cynthia Erivo; and Richard Lawson names more of the best films of the year so far.

“My decision to return to work was made when it seemed nothing was happening and there was no end in sight to this strike,” Bill Maher said, reversing course just five days after announcing his late-night homecoming.
