It’s good news for fans of DC and DuVernay alike, and great news for DC Films, which has struggled to successfully build their DCEU.
In what is surely the best thing to happen to DC Films since hiring Patty Jenkins, DuVernay is in talks to tackle New Gods — a superhero epic that could launch a whole new franchise.
Variety reports that Ava DuVernay is joining the DC family with an adaptation of New Gods, based on the comic book series designed and created by Jack Kirby.
It may be a while yet before she gets to work on New Gods as DuVernay is currently putting together a new documentary series about the Central Park Five case for Netflix.
