  Now Playing: Zack Snyder's Justice League Trilogy Plans Explained

  Tom, I loved writing NEW GODS with you. I’m upset that the saga of Barda, Scott, Granny, Highfather and The Furies ends this way. Diving into Kirby’s Fourth World was the adventure of a lifetime. That can’t be taken away. Thank you for your friendship. And remember... #DarkseidIs pic.twitter.com/XyyIjcB8Wv

  With the projects not moving forward, DuVernay took to Twitter to offer her thoughts, thanking writer King. "Tom, I loved writing NEW GODS with you," she tweeted. "I'm upset that the saga of Barda, Scott, Granny, Highfather, and The Furies ends this way. Diving into Kirby's Fourth World was the adventure of a lifetime. That can’t be taken away. Thank you for your friendship. And remember... #DarkseidIs"

  Thank you, Ray. You’ve been nothing but gracious towards me. Appreciate you. And fans who supported. I’m told the studio will be speaking about their recent decision about NEW GODS characters soon. I hope our paths cross one day, sir. If not in the Fourth World, then in another. https://t.co/3Ncrqk1cXf

  That hashtag refers to Darkseid, a villainous character that appeared in Zack Snyder's Justice League, as portrayed by Ray Porter, that was also going to play a role in New Gods. DuVernay even tweeted Porter about the news, writing, "I'm told the studio will be speaking about their recent decision about NEW GODS characters soon. I hope our paths cross one day, sir. If not in the Fourth World, then in another."

  At this point, we know of five other planned movies in the DC Extended Universe that are still happening. The Suicide Squad, as previously mentioned, releases in theaters and on HBO Max on August 6. After that, Black Adam starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson arrives in 2022. There are also a Flash film, and sequels to both Aquaman and Shazam! in the works.
