The MarvelsIs Wacky, Says Nia DaCosta
Marvel’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder,and this year’sAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniahaven’t been able to get the desired reception.
James Gunn’sGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3brought some respite, and nowNia DaCostais looking to ride on that by adding a“silly”tone to the film.
“The Marvels is really wacky, and silly. The worlds we go to in this movie are worlds unlike others you’ve seen in the MCU. Bright worlds that you haven’t seen before,”she has told Total Film magazine.
The film has raised the financing stakes to $500 million fromCaptain Marvel’s$350 million.

Superhero fatigue is not the issue… bad writing and terrible decision making are the issues

Ya, fatigue… it’s totally not the awful scriptwriting and cringe acting.

Outside ofThe Avengersteam-up, Marvel has had success with films likeCaptain America: Civil War(2016) which fit multiple heroes in a 2 hr and 27 min time frame, andSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021)with a minute more.
She once told Inverse –
“It’s interesting, and something we thought about and worked through a lot, which was how do we get each of these really big, exciting heroes space in a two-hour film? A lot of what we’ve been thinking about is ‘what part of the journey do we need to see for each of them?’ How do we honor the part of the story they’re at in terms of the canon?”
