Following the release of A Wrinkle in Time, Ava DuVernay is set to direct another $100 million film.
DuVernay is closing a deal with Warner Bros and DC to direct a screen adaptation of Jack Kirby’s 1971 comic book New Gods, according to Deadline.
She would be the second woman to direct a superhero film for DC, following Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which grossed over $400 million at the domestic box office in 2017.
Per Deadline:
The New Gods came into existence after the world of the gods of classic mythology were destroyed during Ragnarok. The deities inhabit two planets: one is New Genesis, a lush paradise, and the other Apokolips.
Kario Salem has signed on as a screenwriter for the film.
