The Marvels helmer Nia DaCosta sets the records straight amid reports of her early departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe flick and questions about her commitment to the upcoming movie.During an interview on Jake’s Takes, DaCosta addressed claims made in a detailed report by Variety which alleged she left The Marvels during post-production for London to work on the upcoming drama, Hedda, starring Thor franchise actor Tessa Thompson. DaCosta admitted she left, but that Marvel knew she was set to work on Hedda and the process for completing The Marvels got stretched due to studio delays, including multiple release date shifts. “For me personally, it was that they moved the date of the film four different times,” she said. “They knew the entire time that I had an obligation—a green-lit movie with people who were waiting for me. And I pushed that and then I pushed it again and then I pushed it again. Eventually, we all knew that if [The Marvels] pushes again, I’m not going to be in LA to do the rest of this in person.”A behind-the-scenes insider close to the production of The Marvels criticized DaCosta’s departure in the Variety article, finding it “weird” for her to leave months before the Captain Marvel sequel was completed. However, DaCosta insisted her decision to leave wasn’t nearly as “dramatic” as it was reported. “By the time I left to start prep on my next film, everyone was so clear about what the film was, what we wanted,” she said. “It really wasn’t this dramatic sort of thing people are thinking it is.”The Marvels Director Admits She Had to Give Up Control to Kevin Feige: ‘It’s His Movie’
