Ava DuVernay is taking on the world of superheroes: She has just signed to direct a new film in the DC Extended Universe.

The movie will be called New Gods and is based on the DC Comics series of the same name that first came out in 1971.

The eponymous New Gods are natives of the twin planets of New Genesis and Apokolips , according to Variety. The magazine describes New Genesis as an idyllic planet ruled by the Highfather and Apokolips as a dystopia filled with machinery and fire pits ruled by the tyrant Darkseid.
