James Mangold may be trading in his whip for a trip to swamp country.
Mangold, who has Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hitting theaters in May, is in early talks to be one of the first writer-directors to join James Gunn and Peter Safran’s roster of filmmakers at DC Studios.
Mangold is in discussions with the Warner Bros. arm to take on the feature adaptation of Swamp Thing, the supernatural horror-based hero who is a focal point in the first chapter of DC Studios’ slate.

I didn't even see Swamp Thing on the slate announced.
If Gunn is getting people like Mangold on board, a lot of people on here are going to eat their words.

Will the swamp thing be pansexual?

Swamp Thing is a character that DC comic fans know and appreciate (one of my favorites actually), but general audience only knows of him. If they can do this effectively, they can setup an incredible overarching story for the entire DCMU.

Why do this, when the Opening scene and credits of Return of Swamp Thing was already perfection?

enjoyed the first one with Adrienne Barbeau. Didn't even know they made a second one.

The DC Universe series from a few years ago wasn't bad. It meandered until they were told they were getting canceled after a shortened season, so they tightened everything into a well paced series for the last few episodes.

The TV show was great, so there's definitely potential there.

Man... Nothing gonna bring the asses to the seats to save DC/Warners like a c-list Sci fi cable TV show about a stick monster from the 80s that has virtually no following!
But hey, the color changing toy from back in day was badass, though...

I just found out that Wes Craven directed the 1st Swamp Thing movie in 1981.

I was talking about the HBO max show that came out about the time of Titans and Doom Patrol and only ran for one season.
