In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Nia DaCosta commented a bit on the project, extolling the fact that she has enough freedom to provide her own vision to the story.
“It’s amazing, [It’s] more [freedom] than I’ve had on anything. It’s great because we’re all just comic-book nerds who want to make a great comic-book movie..”
She continued, talking about the theme of the work:
“It’s a lot less traumatizing to work on for sure,” she told Entertainment Weekly with a laugh when asked how working on The Marvels compared to the heavier subject matter of her previous films. “But this movie also deals with specific, personal, sometimes sad things. But no, it’s been nice to work in a different world for sure.”
Remember, the film is scheduled to premiere on November 11, 2022.
Larson returns as Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers. The cast also features Park Seo-Joon (Parasite), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), and Teyonah Parris (WandaVision).
DaCosta, of Candyman, is in charge of directing. Megan McDonnell is writing the screenplay.
