The Guardian<\/a>, DaCosta appeared to reference her time in the MCU by discussing the “shocking way people have talked to me in my position as a director” after Candyman. She reportedly left The Marvels during post-production to start work on Hedda, and indicated that she subsequently received “anonymous briefings” that painted her in a negative light.\u00a0<\/p>\n“They knew the entire time that I had an obligation,” DaCosta shared,\u00a0“a greenlit movie with people who were waiting for me.”<\/p>\n
Despite that, there don’t appear to be any hard feelings between the director and Marvel Studios. “There\u2019s no ire in any of my energy. I was on the Avengers set a couple weeks ago because I still have relationships with these people.” Referencing Kevin Feige, she added, “He wrote me a letter for my UK visa.”<\/p>\n
DaCosta has previously said that there came a point when she realised The Marvels “[wasn’t] going to be the movie that I pitched or even the first version of the movie that I shot,” and later suggested that she was working without a “solid script.”<\/p>\n
Marvel Studios is renowned for using reshoots to tinker with and improve its movies. However, in recent years, those appear to have largely done the opposite,\u00a0with Captain America: Brave New World\u00a0the most recent example.\u00a0The Marvels\u00a0ultimately lost the studio around $237 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was DaCosta on the set of Avengers: Doomsday? Well, chances are she was just visiting. However, we’d say it’s also possible that she was there to see the follow-up to The Marvels’ post-credits scene being shot, perhaps offering insights similar to\u00a0Jake Schreier and Matt Shakman when the Russos filmed stingers for Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
