Quote from Director Chloé Zhao

"We have an incredibly talented, unique and diverse cast. The characters they portray and the journey and transformation they go through in this film represent the many different aspects of human nature and the complicated duality within all of us.”

“To tell this story, we needed to capture both the epic and the intimate and visually bring these elements together. We shot mainly on location. We used wide-angle spherical lenses and deep focus in order to explore the relationship between the characters and the world they live in. When you watch Sersi walking through a village in ancient Babylon, it’s no different than watching Fern walking through a present-day nomadic camp in ‘Nomadland.’”

“The movements of the camera, the wide-angle lenses and the deep focus allow audiences to explore the world within the frames and to make discoveries themselves. The visual experience of this film must feel immersive and interactive enough for audiences to believe that these characters have walked the earth for 7000 years. It’s not possible to do that on a stage.”

“We are excited for audiences to go on this epic journey through time and space with a group of immortal heroes.  We hope they will have a great time, fall in love with these wonderful characters, learn new MCU mythologies and explore some of the existential questions humanity has pondered since the dawn of time."
