With the director set to step his footing in both the Star Wars universe and Gunn’s new DCU, it seems thatJames Mangoldmight be giving his full attention to hisStar Warsproject instead of DC. According to Industry Insider, Jeff Sneider, Mangold is reportedly set to craft hisStar Warsproject after the biopic, which is set to deal with the origins of the first Jedi in a biblical fashion. And following his unique approach to the iconic IP, Star Wars fans are excited after Sneider’s reports.

James Mangold’s alleged plans regarding his DCU project make complete sense
Although it might be a bit disappointing to know that theSwamp Thingproject might not be the biggest priority for James Mangold after hisBob Dylanbiopic, it does make complete sense. Following James Gunn’s and Peter Safran’s initial slate for the first chapter of the new DCU, it is evident thatSwamp Thingmight be the last film to release from the announced projects.
And considering that DCU’s first major release,Superman: Legacyis set to release in 2025, it’s reasonable to assume that theSwamp Thingproject is years away from its release.

Although there hasn’t been any release date announced for hisStar Warsproject, we might soon get an official update regarding its release.
