Los Angeles, Feb 2 (Ians) Filmmaker James Mangold, who is known for films such as ‘The Wolverine’ and Logan’ among many others is in early talks to take on ‘Swamp Thing’ for DC Studios.
Sources tell ‘Variety’ that Mangold is a longtime fan of the DC Comics supernatural hero and approached James Gunn and Peter Safran with his idea for the forthcoming project.
