“The thing I’ve been most surprised by lately,” says the filmmaker, who broke through with the horror hit Candyman, “is how much respect I’ve been getting from these middle-aged white dudes.”
Working with Marvel had been a long-held dream for DaCosta, but there would be risks. The studio has tapped some inspired directors over the years: Ryan Coogler, Taika Waititi, Chloé Zhao, to name a few. Still, the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t exactly an auteur-driven Eden: The movies and TV shows are so interconnected that Feige sometimes seems more like an army general than a movie executive.
DaCosta grew up in Harlem. She was raised by a single mother—a singer whose band’s claim to fame was writing the theme song forand who exposed her to film, music, theater, and performance art from an early age. “That was really my upbringing—just full acceptance, full of art, and a mother who really was like, ‘The world is your oyster. Go explore it. Have fun,’ ” she says.
