Peter Jackson Turned Down Chance To Direct Comic Book Movie

Of course, this doesn’t mean that he’s abandoned scripted or fantastical titles altogether. In fact, according to a recent interview with Empire, he was offered the chance to helm Aquaman. Per the New Zealand native’s comments to Empire, it was former Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara who offered him the director’s chair for Aquaman on two occasions: “He said, ‘Are you a fan of Aquaman?’ I said, ‘No, Kevin, I already told you this’,” Jackson recalls.
