Duncan Jones is going to direct a comic book flick next , it ’s just unclear which one . Hollywood is only continuing to commit to the superhero movie fad . While Marvel Studios is leading the charge , several other studios are bringing comical book based content to the big screen . No one is so far rivaling the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but Warner Bros. ' DC universe , Fox’sX - Menfranchise , and a variety of other small moving picture are in the body of work too .
With so many different comic books being accommodate for the big screen , that means there ’s countless jobs for director , writer , and stars to fill in the genre . Jones is a director many have had their heart on since he directedMoonand thenSource Code . His big budget filmWarcraftdidn’t meet expectations and his Netflix movieMutedidn’t get very good reviews . He still remains a gifted music director and will next helm one of the many funny book movies out there , but that does n’t mean it has to be a superhero motion-picture show .

Duncan Jones was the one to break the news to the internet , but he is n’t revealing all the details just yet . All he will say is that he ’s a moment nervous to direct"a pretty special"comic book movie . He confirms it will be his next project and that more news and tease will follow . While the public has to waitress to learn what project it is , Baby Driverdirector Edgar Wright sleep with the details , and even he is mad for the moving-picture show .
Since the project Jones is go to tackle is n’t known just yet , it leaves fan in pure speculation territory - most of which fall into the superhero territory . If we start with Marvel Studios , there are only a few known projects for their time to come and an even smaller bit that Jones could take on . The biggest fit would beThe Eternals , a project that would give Jones heap of creative exemption and a grand scope to research . Marvelhas hired screenwriters for the picture , so the film director hunt could conceivably be afoot ( and fetch up ) . It is possible Jones ' pot was done in placid , but it may be a bit unbelievable that this is how the newsworthiness would surface - and not through a trade or Marvel directly .
The other bountiful universe in the biz is the on the side titled DC Extended Universe . One project that buff have often included Jones on wish - lists for isGreen Lantern Corps . He ’s even talked abouthis"imaginative"idea for the franchise . Similar toThe Eternals , this project would give Jones the entire creation to explore and make his own . Again though , this cryptic tweet being the avenue for such an proclamation does n’t line up .
The same could go for a project likeGambitthat desperately needs a director , but , again , he may not precisely be looking into superhero movies . The most likely option is that Jones is going to tackle a " smaller " film . Studios have been picking up the right wing to dozens of title from Image , Valiant , and others , so Jones could tackle one of those instead . Now that the news is out there that he ’s attached to a comic book movie , it should n’t be too much longer before the exact undertaking is revealed .
