Contrary to a recent rumor, Peter Jackson will not be heading to the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) anytime soon.
Steven Spielberg directed The Adventures of Tintin in 2011, with Peter Jackson producing, and it was believed that Jackson would direct the follow-up, with Spielberg and Jackson swapping duties in the director’s chair for each subsequent movie.
Still, while Spielberg will eventually be getting ready to enter the DC Comics fray, it seems that won’t be happening with Peter Jackson anytime soon.
While doing press for his upcoming movie The Mortal Engines, in theaters this December, Jackson made it clear he isn’t taking on a DC movie, or The Lord of the Rings series on Amazon.
