Will James Mangold (‘Indiana Jones 5’) direct this new DC project?

The director of ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’, James Mangold, has responded to the assumptions that placed him in charge of the new film about ‘Swamp Thing’.

Earlier in the week, new DC CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed their plans for the future of the DC Universe, with an adaptation of “Swamp Thing” among the upcoming titles in the franchise.

Although Mangold’s involvement has not yet been confirmed, The Hollywood Reporter published that the director was in the middle of negotiations to direct the tape.

In response to this, the filmmaker shared a drawing of ‘Swamp Thing’ on Twitter, which was later retweeted by Gunn – suggesting that the news was true.

‘Swamp Thing’ first emerged in the early 1970s. His purpose was to protect his swamp, and the ecosystem in general, from a supernatural threat that was stalking him.

Character he later appeared in several 80’s movies and got his own TV series also titled ‘Swamp Thing’‘ starring Derek Mears.

Among the announcements we have seen from DC this week, Gunn and Safran have also revealed ‘Superman: Legacy‘which will focus on how the superhero “will balance your inheritance Kryptonian with his human education“. In addition, we will also see the movie about ‘Batman’: ‘The Brave and the Bold’.

‘The Authority’ is another of the novelties announced, which will be based on a group of superheroes from the late 90s.

Finally, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ and a sequel to Robert Pattinson’s ‘Batman’ (which will take place in a separate timeline called DC Elseworlds) have been included in the new calendar, along with a long list of titles: ‘Creature Commandos’, ‘Waller’, ‘Lanterns’, ‘Paradise Lost’ and ‘Booster Gold’…
