James Mangold Criticizes Multiverses as Harmful to Storytelling

The 'Logan' director argues that interconnected movie universes prioritize Easter eggs over emotional narratives.

Mangold believes multiverses undermine the core of storytelling by focusing on connections rather than character development.
Despite his stance, Mangold is set to direct upcoming franchise films for DC and Star Wars.
He emphasizes the importance of creating unique, standalone films that resonate emotionally with audiences.
Mangold's comments come as Hugh Jackman reprises his Wolverine role in 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
The director's new project, 'A Complete Unknown,' features Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan.
