The Marvels Director To Helm The Water Dancer Adaptation
Nia DaCosta, director of The Marvels, is set to helm the adaptation of The Water Dancer. DaCosta's first film, 2018's Little Woods, starring Tessa Thompson and Lily James, garnered attention for the director, leading to her being tapped to helm the Jordan Peele-produced remake of Candyman. Following the success of Candyman, DaCosta was hired to direct the sequel to the MCU's Captain Marvel, The Marvels, which will see star Brie Larson return to her hero role along with various other new and returning characters. With The Marvels said to be in post-production, DaCosta already has her next job lined up.
