Oscar-nominated filmmaker James Mangold has worked on “Logan” based on Marvel Comics, and his next film is the fifth installment of the “Indiana Jones” series. It looks like he might be heading to DC Studios for another franchise next, and this one is fascinating. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the filmmaker is in negotiations to collaborate with DC Studios’ James Gunn and Peter Safran and helm “Swamp Thing.”
James Mangold Possibly Heading To DC Studios For ‘Swamp Thing’
According to THR, Mangold is in early talks to work on “Swamp Thing” as part of Gunn and Safran’s upcoming slate of projects at DC Studios. Gunn and Safran recently unveiled their roster of early characters and projects for their DC Studios line, with the first phase being titled “Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.”
Of course, Mangold is still finishing up “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which arrives in theaters this June from Disney and Lucasfilm. If Mangold joins DC Studios, he’d be one of the first filmmakers to join Gunn and Safran’s filmmaker roster.
