If this is true, then it probably means WB is starting to regain confidence in the DCEU. There's all kinds of indicators that their confidence in Aquaman is increasing. Maybe Walter Hamada has shown them at least some of his game plan for fixing the DCEU and they think it can work.
I think Flashpoint was always WB's "Break Glass In Case Of Emergency" button: a weapon of last resort only to be deployed in the event that the DCEU seemed unsalvageable. If they're more confident that it won't be necessary, then they may back off on it.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--

The One Ring are very close to Jackson and his Weta crew so this shouldn’t be dismissed.
Justice League 2? I had always wished that the first JL had simply followed Fellowship of the Ring's beats (Steppenwolf being a Nazgul like lieutenant of the Dark Lord, protecting of the Mother Boxes being akin to protecting the One Ring, a "Fellowship" of different races - Kryptonian, Amazon, Atlantean, Human forming to protect the prized treasure, the movie spanning across different locations in the world etc.)
It would have been a much more intriguing and tonally smooth movie if that had been the case.
I would love to see Jackson on a Bana Mighdall/early Amazons movies, personally.
Jackson will be perfect for Man of Steel 2.
Jackson on the Flash, use the King Kong experience to deliver on Grodd.
Jackson needs to do warlord.

Or last boy on earth. DCU needs some fantasy films.

Not surprising, considering his ties to WB. He's pretty much exclusively worked on huge blockbusters for the last ten years though, and looked pretty broken after the rough production of the Hobbit movies. One would think he'd like more of a break, or work on something smaller and less involved than a DC movie?
As of now:
All-Star Batman, Batman, Doom Patrol, The Flash, The Fix, The Flintstones, Green Valley, Hadrian's Wall, The Hellblazer, Moonshine, New Super-Man, Suicide Squad, Superman, 'Tec, Unfollow
I'd love for him to work with Amazon but I'd also love his take on a DC property.
Too bad Swamp Thing is taken. As are WW and Shazam, two of the bigger mythological DC characters. What would best suit him?
I think Jackson would be a great choice to direct a New Gods movie if DeVernay drops out. The New Gods have potential to be the next LotR-like franchise.
