Logan director James Mangold teases his potential jump to the DCU with a SwampThing post on social media 👀
Logan director James Mangold teases his jump to the DC Universe with a Swamp Thing post on social media hours after the new movie announcement. After hiring James Gunn and Peter Safran to be co-CEOs of DC Studios in late 2022, the last day of January 2023 is where the beginning of their plans was unveiled. The duo confirmed ten upcoming DCU movies and TV shows that are in development. This included the announcement for a new Swamp Thing movie.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the hours that followed the massive DCU movie announcements, Logan director James Mangold teased his interest in the newly announced Swamp Thing movie by sharing an image of the comic character on Twitter. The social media post by Mangold comes as he is currently finishing up Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but he could be looking for his next directing gig. It was previously reported that James Mangold had early interest in working with James Gunn at DC Studios. Now, the implication is that Swamp Thing is the movie he wants to make, and he might even already be in talks in secret.
There are currently no confirmed examples of how Swamp Thing connects to the overall DCU Phase 1 plan, but the comics provide a loose idea. Bringing Swamp Thing into the DCU in such a prominent way opens the door for the franchise to begin setting up the Justice League Dark team, which could include John Constantine, Deadman, Etrigan the Demon, Zatanna, and more.
When Will The DCU's Swamp Thing Movie Be Released? The DCU Phase 1 movie announcement did not reveal when Swamp Thing releases. However, it was confirmed that DC Studios is aiming to release two DCU movies in theaters per year. Superman: Legacy is confirmed for a July 2025 release date, which means that Swamp Thing will compete with the other four DCU movies in development to be the second release of 2025.
