Will Mangold direct Swamp Thing before or after Star Wars?
James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe is beginning to come to fruition, thanks to a number of upcoming movies and Max-exclusive television series. The duo have already amassed a pretty significant creative team as part of DC Studios, including James Mangold , who is set to write and direct a new live-action Swamp Thing movie.
So, what does this mean for Swamp Thing? At the moment, it's not entirely clear, especially since there's always a chance that production schedules could shift around for one reason or another once Mangold completes A Complete Unknown. But if The Hollywood Reporter's forecasting is accurate, it sounds like production wouldn't begin on Swamp Thing until way after Dawn of the Jedi.
What Is Swamp Thing About?While exact plot and casting details surrounding Swamp Thing remain under wraps, Mangold has teased how his approach would honor the comics in a new context. "To me, the idea of making almost a noir, mystery, horror film about a guy who wakes up and he's this thing," Mangold explained in a 2023 interview."There's an amnesiac quality of, 'How did I get here and who did this to me?' So I'm envisioning a horror-noir film following a creature that can't be seen, trying to piece together from fragments of memories, what happened and who did it.
