off-screen death for his character Mutt, telling the publication,"That seemed to me to be right emotionally. That a disillusioned hero could end up at this wonderful, tumultuous moment in world history and — with his son gone and his wife gone — that he'd picture himself staying in the place he loves best, which is this imagining [of] these worlds. It's separate from all past studio, political intrigue on movies I didn't make.
Mangold then chooses to elaborate on how it's ultimately essential to the story, explaining,"You were either going to make a movie all about the two of them, or you're going to have to find a way to not have [Mutt] around, because he was too significant a player in the previous film to just pretend he didn't exist. I didn't think his whole thing worked that well in the previous film. I just went towards something else because it was what was more interesting to me.
