If Oscar-winning screenwriters Mario Puzo (“The Godfather”) and Chris Terrio (“Argo”) can write Superman and Justice League movies, why can’t Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin start writing Batman and Iron Man movies?
“I happen to have meetings coming up with both DC and Marvel," Sorkin told ComicBook.com while on the red carpet at Las Vegas’ CinemaCon. "I have to go into these meetings and tell them as respectfully as I can that I’ve never read a comic book. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that I’ve never been exposed to one. So, I’m hoping that somewhere in their library is a comic book character that I’m gonna love and I’m going to want to go back and start reading from the first issue on.”
Sorkin’s screenwriting credits include “A Few Good Men,” “The American President,” “Charlie Wilson’s War,” “The Social Network,” “Moneyball” and “Steve Jobs.” He created and wrote most of the episodes of “The West Wing,” “SportsNight,” “Studio 60” and “The Newsroom.”
