James Mangold, known for directing films like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Logan, is not a fan of cinematic multiverses. Despite his involvement in sequels, Mangold expresses his reluctance to venture into the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to its heavy focus on multi-movie universe-building. He emphasizes the importance of emotional storytelling over creating connections between films, calling it the ‘death of storytelling.’ Mangold’s perspective challenges the trend of interconnected movie universes, prioritizing the uniqueness of individual films and characters. According to Mangold, the goal of a film should be centered on what makes it distinctive and emotionally impactful, rather than relying on references or Easter eggs from other movies.
