Talks are reportedly in very other stages , but Mangold ’s tweet sure enough makes it seem like he ’s all but quick to undertake the challenge .
Swamp Thing was the terminal project Gunn and Safran announced this week and it was given as the example of a labor that , tonally , will take issue most from the rest of the DC Universe while still being a part of the overall storey . It ’s a part that has seen many adaptation over the years , most notably a Wes Craven - lead 1982 movie and three seasons on a 1990s tv set show . There was a more recent show in 2019 , and several attempt to bring the character back to the heavy screen over the years , but nothing has stuck . Yet .
Mangold , of form , is also not a unknown when it comes to the funny Bible musical style . Though tackle Indiana Jones is his biggest project to date , he also steer The Wolverine and Logan , the latter of which he wrote and garner him an Oscar nomination for screenwriting . That motion-picture show , telling a floor of a hero with a complex history finally dealing with his destiny , begins to show just what he may be able to bring not just to Swamp Thing , but DC Studios in general .
