DC Comics fans are in the midst of a major movie blitz with Birds of Prey playing in theaters, Wonder Woman 1984 getting set to premiere, and highly anticipated films like The Suicide Squad and The Batman currently filming. But there's a lot of anticipation mounting for The New Gods, the cosmic epic based on the legendary run by Jack Kirby AKA the King of Comics. The movie is currently being scripted by director Ava DuVernay and her co-writer Tom King, who previously wrote the critically acclaimed, and New Gods-focused, maxi-series Mister Miracle.
