Steven Spielberg is finally taking on a superhero movie.
The prolific director and his Amblin Entertainment are teaming with Warner Bros. to produce action-adventure ?Blackhawk,? with the intention of Spielberg directing.
Based on the classic comic-book property, the project will mark the filmmaker?s first feature centered on characters from the DC universe. Spielberg most recently directed ?Ready Player One? for Warner Bros., which has so far grossed $476 million worldwide following its release late last month.
?We are so proud to be the studio behind Steven Spielberg?s latest hit, and are thrilled to be working with him again on this new action adventure,? said Toby Emmerich, chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. ?We can?t wait to see what new ground he will break in introducing ?Blackhawk? to movie audiences worldwide.?
