‘Captain Marvel 2’: ‘Candyman’s Nia DaCosta To Direct Sequel

MovieNews As a big MCU fan this is very exciting to me to see a part of the franchise helmed by a female black director 👏🏽 Whoo hoo! However, the only issue I have is that I really hated Nia DaCosta‘s LITTLE WOODS, it’s depressing in a way that’s just bleak, one of those movies where you feel depleted at the end.

Jordan Peele (screenplay) DaCosta (director) CANDYMAN which won’t be out til the fall, looks too scary for me to watch.

So, I’m a little worried about a big change in tone for the next Captain Marvel installment. The first one had some great Marvel humor between Carol Danvers & Nick Fury. Plus, all those 90’s references were fun. I don’t see DaCosta keeping those aspects, but I can imagine she’ll do well by the characters Monica and Maria Rambeau. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see, in the meantime, happy to see more diversity at Marvel! I wonder if Ryan Coogler will reach out to Nia to welcome her into the fold?

On a side note, yesterday I bought an Marvel’s Avengers Mask from Etsy – Can’t wait til it arrives!
