Steven S. DeKnight, the creative force behind the first season of Marvel’s Daredevil show and Pacific Rim: Uprising, says that he’d gladly direct a movie for DC Films.
Right before the release of his directorial debut (the sequel to Pacific Rim), a fan on Twitter asked if he’d be up for directing one of DC’s movies. His response boils down to an enthusiastic pair of words:
Hell yes! https://t.co/QRuxnV5wCl

DeKnight has previously served as an olive branch between DC and Marvel fans, as he’s previously praised director Zack Snyder and was involved with the critically-acclaimed show that launched Netflix’s entire line of Marvel shows. DeKnight’s commitment to genre entertainment should definitely put him on a shortlist of directors that DC Films should talk to.
Pacific Rim Uprising will open in theaters on March 23, 2018. The film is directed by Stephen S. DeKnight and stars John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeney, Jing Tian, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, Levi Meaden, Adria Arjona, Karan Brar, and Nick E. Tarabay. The movie’s premise is as follows:
“It has been ten years since the Battle of the Breach and the oceans are still, but restless. Vindicated by the victory at the Breach, the Jaeger program has evolved into the most powerful global defense force in human history. The PPDC now calls upon the best and brightest to rise up and become the next generation of heroes when the Kaiju threat returns. Thrust into this is ex-Jaeger pilot Jake Pentecost, son of the late Stacker Pentecost, who is given a chance by his adopted sister, Mako Mori, to unite with the world and fellow Jaeger pilots to prevent humanity’s extinction.”
