This reminds of me of how the (excellent) book by Tom Scioli



Has a brief panel at the end about the New Gods movie that is sure to age poorly now. :dead:

tbh watch the the last 3 seasons of queen sugar and you will see why they probably got cold feet. Ava can't shine in fictional material so far :scust:
She's mostly just the executive producer on Queen Sugar.
She directed a couple episodes in the first season and she's written only like 5 or 6 episodes over the show's entire run. I don't think she wrote/directed any episodes in seasons 3 and 4.

Zack Snyder's Justice League Axed Ava DuVernay's DC Movie New Gods

In a new interview with Sirius XM, DuVernay says the studio decided against pulling on threads set up by Snyder in a version of Justice League that Warner Bros. had already declared to be outside of their connected canon.

"I loved New Gods, which is the project that got axed. The studio decided that they did not want to pursue a certain part of that comic world based on some things that were going on with another film in that world," DuVernay revealed. "So, before I even was able to kind of complete my script with Tom King, they axed it. But I already had two projects going."

I'd have rather had a New Gods movie :francis:
