As a dedicated fan and follower of James Mangold’s impressive filmography, I have come to deeply respect his unique perspective on storytelling and his unwavering commitment to authentic character development. With his latest project, A Complete Unknown, a Bob Dylan biopic, he continues to prove that he is a master storyteller who prioritizes the art of cinema over the commercial pressures of multiverse films.
James Mangold, who is now producing the Bob Dylan film “A Complete Unknown,” has expressed his disdain for cinematic universes. Known for directing sequels like “The Wolverine” (2013), “Logan” (2017), and the upcoming “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (2023), Mangold has made it clear that he prefers focusing on standalone projects.
Instead, considering the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s renown for constructing intricate storylines across multiple films, it seems unfathomable that he would opt to helm a project within this expansive cinematic realm.
Director James Mangold reveals why he dislikes multiverse films
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Recently, I was asked by Rolling Stone an intriguing question about Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of Johnny Cash in the upcoming Bob Dylan film, where Timothée Chalamet takes the lead. Given my past experience directing Phoenix in “Walk the Line,” which earned him an Oscar nomination in 2005, I was asked if fans should expect a cameo from Cash himself. While it’s an exciting possibility, I must admit that I don’t have the answer to that just yet. Stay tuned for more updates on this fascinating project!
According to the director, since Boyd Holbrook portrays Johnny Cash in A Complete Unknown, there won’t be any similarities between the two characters in the film. Mangold explained, “I have great admiration for Joaquin Phoenix, but he doesn’t fit the age requirement for Johnny Cash at that stage of their lives. At that point, both characters are young individuals.”
The director expressed his surprise at having worked in the IP entertainment industry, admitting his dislike for creating intricate universes with multiple movies. He believes this approach hinders true storytelling and may even lead to its demise.
Mangold is popular for making sequel films
Franchises often attract audiences by bringing back beloved characters from previous films for new crossover stories. A notable example is the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home, which featured Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire playing the iconic superhero role.
In the latest development, Hugh Jackman has managed to reclaim his beloved character, Wolverine, for the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film, despite Wolverine having supposedly met his end in Logan, all thanks to the expansive multiverse of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Mangold continues to lead the direction of more franchise sequels for the upcoming Star Wars film, Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, produced by Lucasfilm, without immediately planning new explorations of the universe.
