Now it looks like he’s gearing up to direct his next feature, and according to The One Ring, he’s deciding between a return to Middle-earth or a DC superhero flick. If he returns to Middle-earth, it looks like it will be as part of Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings series, which would just be baffling to me. I understand Jackson loves the world of Tolkien, but The Hobbit showed he’s not going to do it any better than The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Getting to do it on Amazon’s streaming service just seems pointless from everyone’s perspective unless Jackson wants a canvas where he’ll get to include every single thing from the books (Tom Bombadil fans will finally have their day!).

A DC superhero film seems like the more intriguing option for Jackson. He’s never really been in that space before, and it could be a good fit depending on the character. His pal Steven Spielberg is already getting into the DC superhero game with producing and possible directing the movie Blackhawk, and I’m sure a director Jackson’s pedigree would likely have a lot of leeway and freedom to play with a variety of superheroes from DC vast catalogue of characters.

Maybe he can take The Judas Contract and stretch it out to three 190 minute movies.

I would like to see him executive produce the Amazon Tolkienverse series. He could be the Kevin Feige of LOTR

Why not remake the entire DC series with all female characters?

Well, he loves him some CGI, so he is a perfect fit for a DC movie.

The Hobbit was the fault of the studio and the first director leaving, and maybe a smaller amount his own. He had a ton to try to fix (and sometimes not very good) and do in a very short amount of time.

If he is smart he will stay far away from the dumpster fire that is the DCEU.

Lord of the rings will be epic especially with the similarion story lines.
