Nia DaCosta Reflects On ‘The Marvels’ & Teases Release Date For Upcoming Tessa Thompson Starrer ‘Hedda’ — Storyhouse


The 'Little Woods' and 'Candyman' director discussed her process of making films and why she needed to make 'Hedda' after being in the MCU world.

“They had a date, and they were prepping certain things, and you just have to lean into the process hardcore,” she said during a detailed conversation with filmmaker Kate Dolan. As secrets unravel, the play explores themes of power, gender roles and the tragic consequences of societal expectations in the late 19th century. “I told them that I wasn’t going to make a Danny Boyle movie because that would be impossible and also not of interest to me as a filmmaker,” she said, adding that she hopes that she has created a “fresh take” and “individual language” for the film she made.
