Deadline Talks about revealing the truth are underway in an extremely early stage These stages are called “nothing is set in stone” The project is so tangled in preliminary development that it’s impossible to write a good script. Mangold, a huge Swamp Thing enthusiast, is expected to be the one to get the assignment. DC is believed be “stoked” And an offer is on its way.
Based on the tease that he posted, Mangold is equally enthusiastic. It shows that talks are serious and moving places.

“You picked a glorious piece of artwork. Bernie Wrightson. Big fan,” Please reply Logan Wolverine Production Designer Francois Auduoy.

This is a good sign but don’t expect Swamp Thing to enter pre-production until at least next year. Mangold’s immediate focus is Indiana Jones and The Dial of DestinyThe sequel to summer blockbuster ‘The Lego Movie 2’ has a chaotic production story marred by numerous reshoots as well as alleged poor screen tests. Added to that is the film’s costar Phoebe Waller-Bridge who reports claim has become an albatross on the franchise.
Mangold will have to downplay the anticipation and rumors for the fifth installment of the Indy saga. Once that is done, Mangold will turn his attention to a Bob Dylan biopic. A Complete Unknown Staring Dune’s Timothée Chalamet in the main role. As Deadline predicts, “Swamp Thing…would be very far out.”
