‘Logan’ and ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Director James Mangold Dislikes ‘Multi-Movie Universe-Building’ and Calls It the ‘Enemy’ and ‘Death of Storytelling’
James Mangold is not a fan of "multi-movie universe-building."
The director is no stranger to helming sequels as the filmmaker behind “The Wolverine,” “Logan” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” although he’s always approached his franchise work as standalone entries. Mangold directed Joaquin Phoenix to an Oscar nomination as Cash in 2005’s “Walk the Line.” The director’s Bob Dylan biopic stars Timothee Chalamet as the music icon. He is currently attached to direct a new “Star Wars” movie, although it was be mostly a standalone effort as it is billed as a Biblical epic set centuries before the franchise’s main storyline as it tracks the origin of the Force.
