The Marvels director's Bollywood dream: Wants to work with Shah Rukh Khan

<p>Marvel Studios' upcoming film, <em>The Marvels,</em> is generating significant buzz as it prepares to unleash a trio of superheroes onto the big screen.

While the film boasts this impressive lineup, it's the director, Nia DaCosta, who has garnered the attention of Marvel Studios' Vice-President, Kevin Feige.</p>

<p>Feige, known for his keen eye in selecting talent, was impressed by DaCosta's work in the world of independent cinema. He praised her impressive credentials, saying, "We were just very impressed with her indie cred—and her nerd cred."

<p>Feige went on to describe his collaboration with the young director, highlighting her relentless work ethic and creative prowess. "She works nonstop and is a fountain of ideas," he said.
