Marvel Studios is known for switching their directors when it comes to their popular franchises to provide a fresh perspective. This has previously been done with both the 'Iron Man' and 'Captain America' franchises.
She is following in the footsteps of fellow female directors Chloe Zhao, director of MCU's 'The Eternals', and Cathy Yan, director of 'Birds Of Prey' from the DC Extended Universe.

This big news comes after she was at the helm of the highly anticipated horror movie, 'Candyman', for which she also received the deserving praises of fellow horror film director Jordan Peele.
When talking about her work, Peele mentioned that the movie was in great hands when given to DaCosta and that Nia has a steady manner about her, while being refined and elegant making her shots beautiful.
