Renowned director Ava DuVernay is in the middle of working on an upcoming DC film New Gods. The woman behind Selma, 13th, and a Wrinkle in Time, DuVernay is the right person for the job to bring Jack Kirby’s creation to life. While posting a tweet, which was then responded to, DuVernay posted a comic strip with a Darkseid quote.

“I. Am. The. New. God. All is one in Darkseid. This mighty body is my church,” Darkseid says in the comic. “When I command your surrender, I speak with three billion voices. When I make a fist to crush your resistance. It is with three billion hands. When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. It is with six billion eyes. Nothing like Darkseid has ever come among you; nothing will again. I will take you to a hell without exit or end. And there I will murder your souls! And make you crawl and beg! And die! Die! DIE FOR DARKSEID!”
There are not a lot of details just yet for the new film, whether we should expect a large mashup movie like Justice League, or something more grounded, but I have no doubt that someone like DuVernay is exactly what DC needs right now.
Stay tuned for more!
