Spielberg says Blackhawk movie is still a go. March 29, 2022
In an interview with Collider, Koepp recently addressed the development of the “Blackhawk” movie, saying:
“We have a script that’s very good and we all think it’s very good. There were a lot of management changes at Warner Bros, so I think we’ve just been kind of waiting for that to settle down, and for them to decide what they want to do with their DC Universe. Obviously I hope he does it or if he doesn’t direct it, I hope he produces it, someone great directs. Because it would be a great deal of fun. I’m very fond of the script and I hope it comes together. But again, that’s one of those movies that’s gonna need $200 million so, trying to get those whales off the beach is a big process.”

It is not yet clear if Blackhawk will be a part of the DC Universe. However, Blackhawks did recently appear in the Flashpoint comic book series, which will serve as the inspiration for the new Flash film. In live-action, a version of Blackhawk briefly appeared in Season 1 of Arrow as Ted Gaynor (Ben Browder).
