Things may be looking up for the DC Films Universe with the upcoming release of movies like Aquaman, Shazam!, and Wonder Woman 1984 but there's obviously still a lot of work to do before Warner Bros. is able to rival the success found by Marvel Studios. Someone who could help with that is Peter Jackson, a filmmaker who found success with The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
There have been rumours for a quite some time now that Jackson could end up taking the helm of a DC Comics adaptation but are those accurate? Well, he was asked about that during a recent interview and, well, his answer may disappoint you because it turns out that he's not even a fan of comic books!
"That’s not true," he confirmed. "I had no discussions about that. I’m not a fan of comics, I’ve never read any, so I’m not particularly interested in adapting one for cinema. That’s not true at all." Ouch. That shuts down the rumour once and for all and makes it clear that the filmmaker won't be signing up for a Man of Steel sequel any time soon (which still isn't happening even though Warner Bros. is developing two separate movies revolving around The Joker). Are you disappointed by these remarks?
