DC Films Shelving ‘New Gods’ With Ava DuVernay, ‘The Trench’ With James Wan

“The Trench,” meanwhile, was meant as a horror-inflected one-off set in the dangerous oceanic abyss filled with the ravenous aquatic creatures first seen in Wan’s 2018 blockbuster “Aquaman.” Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald had written a script for the film, which Wan was producing with Safran.

In its statement, the studio made clear that it may revive these projects at a later date, and DuVernay and Wan would effectively have right of first refusal to continue with them. Both filmmakers are also staying within the DC fold: DuVernay isfor the CW, and Wan is preparing to direct “Aquaman 2” for Warner Bros.

So why would “New Gods” and “The Trench” not fit within DC Films’ vision? Both projects involve relatively obscure DC comics characters to a general audience; more importantly, both also have connections to the Snyder cut, “New Gods” through Darkseid and “The Trench” through Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.

Lol. Me hearing Ava isn’t directing this...

Man I was really looking forward to The Trench by the King of Horror...

why would you put this pain on my timeline again

Oh look, WB/DC canning to movie projects from POC creators... why does that sound familiar 🤔 Mind you, 'the Trench' was always a terrible idea, but still...

Lol this article makes WB execs look stupid. New Gods and The Trench were axed so the studio can distance itself from the Snyderverse? Both of those projects got announced after Zack Snyder left though. This is fake news. Who said Ava's Darkseid was Zack's Darkseid?

Ava DuVernay‘s New Gods would’ve sucked anyway. Don’t expect her to know even the surface level new Genesis or Apokolips lore. DC needs to find their Feige

What is DC doing 🙃

The Trench could make a great HBO Max spinoff.

A horror movie based on those trench creatures from Aquaman would have been pretty interesting. Shame...

Are you serious 😐

Its almost like Warner brothers is afraid to show Darkseid on the big screen -.-

Sen. Susan Collins supports DC joining Maryland instead of DC statehoodSen. Susan Collins is the latest Republican with an alternative suggestion for Washington, DC's push for statehood: Join another state. Founding Fathers wrote it in the Constitution. Article I, Section 8 provides explicitly for a national capital not part of a state nor treated as a state, but an enclave under the exclusive authority of Congress — a neutral “district” to conduct the nation’s business. Let Susan Collins be concerned about her coming unemployment and keep her big nose out of DC's business. Why does a senator from Maine think she can tell Washingtonians what the hell they can and can not do?! I am so over White America trying to control Black American lives. Statehood for DC! Statehood for P.R.! Statehood for US Virgin Islands! Stay in YOUR lane, Sen Collins!
