A Wrinkle in Time and Selma director Ava DuVernay will be the first black woman to direct a comic book film, according to Deadline.

Ava will be helming The New Gods, a soon-to-be DC Comics flick based on the popular Jack Kirby comics, telling the story of all-powerful beings who live on two separate planets — a hell-esque landscape, and one that resembles paradise.

Ava is also the first black woman to direct a movie with over a $100 million dollar budget, and now, she’ll also be the first woman of color running the show on a major comic book movie. Sounds amazing!

A very fun night celebrating movies at #Oscars2018. Hit three parties. Hugged many friends. Cheered for the nominees. And danced and laughed and enjoyed the night hanging with my homegirl @tilanej. Many thanks to @giorgioarmani and the wonderful @wandamcdaniel for this custom gown that made me feel so lovely. xo Styling: @jasonbolden w/ @starburleigh Make-Up: @uzo2018 Hair: @drkariwill xo
