Nia Dacosta opens on the fact that wonders are not the film that has launched or shot

Director Nia dacosta He threw some honest and revealing light on his experience in the direction WondersAnd it turns out, the film we saw was not the one who initially signed up to do.

Speaking at the second annual script festival in Dublin, Dacosta synchronized himself on his time inside the Marvel car, saying in no uncertain terms: “Ok, this will not be the film I launched or even the first version of the film I shot.”

Dacosta entered the project full of passion and described herself as “a great gracion of comics that grows” and said that making a Marvel film was his dream job. But that dream rapidly clashed with the notorious study system of the study, where close deadlines and heavy supervision often prevail the original vision of a director.

“They had an appointment and were preparing certain things and you just have to lean on the hardcore process,” he explained. “The way they make those films is very different from the way, ideally, I would make a movie, so you just have to lean on the process and hope for the best.”

Unfortunately hope was not enough. “This time the best did not happen,” he admitted. “But you have to trust the car.”

While Dacosta never criticizes Marvel studies directly, it is clear that what has started as a dream concert has turned into a hard control of reality. He described the whole experience as a “learning curve” that eventually made it stronger as a director, especially when it comes to navigating in large studio projects.

Despite the decent reviews (currently sitting at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes), the film only brought $ 206.1 million globally, which is an intense drop with a radius of $ 1 billion Marvel captain. According to most of the accounts, it is one of the largest financial fires of Marvel Studios, losing the study of about $ 237 million.

And the cracks are showing themselves through the MCU. While the study leans stronger for the shooting and last minute changes, as with what happened with Captain America: Brave New World.

Looking to the future, Dacosta is currently working The bone templeThe sequel to 28 years laterAnd it is already clarifying that this will be his.

“I am really proud of these films,” he said. “I told them that I would not make a film by Danny Boyle because it would have been impossible and also not of interest to me as a director.”

Instead, he hopes to give the film a “fresh interpretation” and “individual language”.
