The Marvels director acknowledges 'superhero fatigue', says sequel is 'wacky' & 'silly'
The Marvels is slated for release on November 10, 2023.
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is known for its ever-expanding roster of superheroes, and the director of upcoming Captain Marvel sequel, titled The Marvels, Nia DaCosta claims the movie is set to take fans on a wild and colourful ride. Known for her work on Candyman, she recently sat down with Total Film magazine to give fans a sneak peek into what they can expect from this highly anticipated film. While acknowledging the existence of "superhero fatigue," DaCosta is confident that The Marvels will stand out from the crowd. The director emphasised that the film will offer a unique and unconventional experience within the MCU. She described the movie as "wacky" and "silly," setting it apart from the more serious tone often associated with superhero films.
DaCosta's vision promises to transport audiences to new and vibrant worlds that have not been explored within the MCU before.
"The biggest difference from the other MCU movies to date is that it’s really wacky, and silly. The worlds we go to in this movie are worlds unlike others you’ve seen in the MCU. Bright worlds that you haven’t seen before," she said.
