The Marvels Director Took Inspiration From Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
The Marvels director Nia DaCosta found an interesting source of inspiration when pitching the film to Marvel: the computer animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
Speaking to IGN, DaCosta explained:
“It's just an amazing, amazing movie, and has really great fight scenes and has a really great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters"
Unlike 2001's Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which received a theatrical release, Square Enix released Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children straight to DVD in 2005. Advent Children sits at a 50% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, but with an 84% audience score, the computer-animated film has become a bit of a cult favorite amongst Final Fantasy fans.
