Shane Black has been making rounds as a creative over the past few years. After his prolific run as a screenwriter, Black has made a name for himself as a director, emerging as one of the few unique voices in the entertainment industry. After helming Iron Man 3 a few years back, the creative has recently shown interest in another superhero property - the Arrowverse.
During San Diego Comic-Con, Black was asked if he would ever be interested in directing television. Speaking to Collider, the answer was quite a surprise.
You wouldn’t want to take a show that already has a style. Like Homeland is so great, I love Homeland, but you probably want to take something more like Supergirl. And just do one episode that’s just like, ‘What the…what?'” Actually, one weekend I put it on and for some reason, over the next two weeks, I watched the first two seasons of Supergirl. And actually thought, “You know this is a pretty entertaining show.” And The Flash, same thing.
Due to his history as a creative, one would expect Black to answer with something more loose and violent, similar to Preacher on AMC. Surprisingly, his interest in The Flash and Supergirl is a jarring but pleasant choice. An episode directed by the Lethal Weapon writer would no doubt be full of energy. Anyone down for a Shane Black directed Christmas special?
