James Mangold, the director of “Logan,” is reportedly in negotiations to direct a movie about the DC hero, Swamp Thing.

The film, which will be part of the wider DC Universe, was recently announced as part of the upcoming slate of DC Universe films, along with reboots of Superman and Batman. In a video announcement, James Gunn, the Co-CEO of DC Studios, described the film as a “very dark horror story” and an origin story for the character.

Swamp Thing, a less well-known DC hero, was created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson and gained recognition through an influential run in the early ’80s by Alan Moore and artists Stephen Bissette and John Totleben.

James Mangold is perhaps best known for Logan, a bleak sci-fi epic starring an older and cynical Wolverine. He also directed the upcoming sequel Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and is all set to direct a Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet titled A Complete Unknown.
