Nia DaCosta (born November 8, 1989) is an American filmmaker. She rose to prominence with her feature-length directorial debut, Little Woods (2018), a crime thriller, which won the Nora Ephron Prize for Female Filmmakers at the Tribeca Film Festival. After working on other projects, most notably directing two episodes of the British thriller series Top Boy in 2019, DaCosta became the first Black female director to debut at No. 1 at the U.S. box office for the weekend opening of the horror film Candyman (2021). She then became the first black woman to direct a Marvel Comics film with The Marvels (2023), which, despite being a box-office bomb, became the highest-grossing film directed by a black woman.
