Can we take a second to talk about Nia DaCosta? The 36-year-old writer and director has been making waves ever since she blasted onto the scene with 2018’s Little Woods, and she hasn’t looked back since, including directing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple on the 2026 movie schedule.
And, the thing is, no genre really defines her.
