'I want to work with SRK, he is kind of a legend', says 'The Marvels' Nia DaCosta

'The Marvels' is set for a massive launch on November 10, just before Diwali. This film unites three female superheroes: Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson), Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel (portrayed by Iman Vellani), and Captain Monica Rambeau (depicted by Teyonah Parris), marking their first collaborative appearance. Prior to the premiere, director Nia DaCosta expressed her interest in collaborating with an Indian actor.

'The Marvels' director Nia DaCosta revealed her desire to collaborate with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In an exclusive interaction with News18 Showsha, she said,



"“Shah Rukh Khan is kind of a legend, isn’t he? It’s kind of a no-brainer in that sense.”

However, she admitted that the idea of including a Bollywood star in her film, similar to Farhan Akhtar's inclusion in Ms Marvel, never occurred during the production. “I never thought about that. I think we were just keeping everything really organic so we never wanted to do any kind of stunt casting. But there is always time, there’s always time,” she said.

The film's diverse cast includes South Asian actor Iman Vellani and South Korean actor Park Seo-joon, but DaCosta denied feeling any pressure of representation.
