Steven Spielberg is directing his attention toward the DC Universe.
The Ready Player One director has agreed to produce and possibly direct a movie based on the World War II-era character Blackhawk for Warner Brothers.
The series debuted in 1941 , according to The Hollywood Reporter, but isnt well known to todays audiences. Still, it fits in Spielbergs World War II wheelhouse, since its about an international squadron of Nazi-fighting pilots led by a man named Blackhawk.
There is no release date for Blackhawk but Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp will write the script, according to Polygon.com.
Warner Brothers has not made it clear whether Blackhawk will interact with Superman or Wonder Woman in the DC Universe.
