What If...? – Warner Bros. / DC / Array (Ava DuVernay's New Gods)

In the spring of 2018, it was announced that acclaimed director Ava DuVernay would be helming a film based on the DC comic book series New Gods for Warner Bros. Pictures, intended to serve as an installment in the DC Extended Universe. The initial script was penned by DuVernay alongside Chasing Mavericks scribe Kario Salem, with rewrites by DuVernay in collaboration with famed comic book writer Tom King. The plan was for Darkseid to serve as the film's primary villain, with Granny Goodness and the Female Furies as secondary threats. Characters such as Mister Miracle, Big Barda, and Highfather would also appear in the film. However, after several years of development, Warner Bros. unceremoniously cancelled the project in the spring of 2021, citing Darkseid's appearance in the recently released Zack Snyder's Justice League, wanting time to pass before the character appeared in a film again, despite that film being non-canon to the DCEU.
