One of the fall seasons most anticipated films is Julius Avery’s Overlord. With early raving reviews for the film, news has broken for Avery’s nest project. The director is in talks to write and direct a Flash Gordon movie for Fox as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn was originally attached to direct the film back in 2015, but last year noted Flash Gordon faced stiff competition in light of fellow space franchises such as Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy. Vaughn stated,
“You’ve got Star Wars, you’ve got Guardians, so you’ve got to have your own space opera, but you have to find something that can survive among these two very, very great franchises,”
No word on when the film will be released.
