Blackhawks is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by David Koepp, based on the comic book character from DC Comics. It is produced by DC Studios, Amblin Entertainment and Kroll & Co. Entertainment.
Plot
[edit]A mysterious man named Blackhawk leads an international squadron against the Nazi air force during World War II.
Production
[edit]In the early 1980s, Steven Spielberg announced that he planned to direct a film adaptation of the Blackhawk comic book series, with Dan Aykroyd attached to play Blackhawk.[1] However, the project never materialized and Spielberg chose to direct Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
It was announced in April 2018 that Spielberg's interest in directing an adaptation of the character was revived, with David Koepp set to write the screenplay.[2] Koepp stated in an August 2020 interview that the film was undergoing rewrites.[3] In March 2022, he confirmed that a script had been written, though he suggested Spielberg's involvement in the project was currently unknown due to other commitments. He also confirmed the film was not intended to connect into the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).[4]
