Director Ava DuVernay has found her next directing vehicle, and is in final negotiations to direct ?The New Gods? for Warner Bros. and DC films, TheWrap has learned.
?New Gods? was created by the legendary Jack Kirby in 1971. Attorneys Nina Shaw and Gordon Bobb represented her in the deal.
The studio is looking to quickly attach a screenwriter who will work closely with DuVernay when developing the film?s narrative.
?The New Gods? were part of Jack Kirby?s ?Fourth World Saga,? written by the legendary comic creator when he left Marvel for DC in the early 1970s. The series focuses on twin alien planets, New Genesis and Apokolips. New Genesis is ruled by Highfather while Apokolips is ruled by Darkseid.

?Justice League? villain Steppenwolf and the Motherboxes are both from Kirby?s ?Fourth World Saga.?
Meanwhile, Duvernay?s current movie ?A Wrinkle in Time? is still facing an uphill battle for box office success. It only made $33 million in its opening weekend against a $103 million budget, and has made just under $42 million worldwide with a slow overseas rollout still to come. If the film shows the same performance as ?Tomorrowland,? another Disney release that opened to $33 million in 2015, it?s looking at a final total of only $200-250 million.
