10 Most Exciting New Movies & TV Shows Just Announced (March 2021)

10. Zatanna

There have been numerous announced attempts to bring DC superhero Zatanna to the big screen over the last 15 years, with initial rumours even suggesting the character would appear in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad - claims he has since rubbished.

But it was just recently confirmed that a new Zatanna solo movie is in the works with Promising Young Woman writer-director Emerald Fennell penning the script and possibly also directing.

Fennell became one of just seven women to ever receive a Best Director Oscar nomination for her work on the aforementioned film and is widely-tipped to win the Best Original Screenplay Oscar in the coming weeks, so it's little surprise she's receiving lavish tentpole offers such as this.

It's clear to see how Fennell's sensibilities could lend themselves extremely well to an outwardly feminist riff on the underappreciated hero, whose magical abilities - namely speaking incantations backwards to manifest her desires - are innately cinematic.

No word on casting yet and the project is clearly still in its early stages, but this is nothing if not an exciting next step for both Fennell and DC movies in general.
