The Justice League (or at least Zack Snyders version of it ) might be on ice for the time being, but DC is charging ahead with its superhero slate by bringing a new face into its multiverse: Zatanna.

Fresh off her history-making Academy Award nomination , Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell has been tapped to pen the script for the comic book characters big-screen debut, Variety announced Monday.

Fennell will write the film for Warner Bros. and J.J. Abrams Bad Robot production company, but theres no word yet on whether shell sign on as director. Additionally, no casting information has been announced, but fans have already suggested a slew of options to play the title role (Ana de Armas, anyone? ).

A project involving the DC heroine has been in the works for some time, but its been unclear exactly what form it would take. The film will, however, be released theatrically instead of on Warner Bros. streaming service HBO Max, like other recent offerings, Variety reported.
