James Mangold, who directed Logan, The Wolverine, and 3:10 to Yuma is going to direct the Boba Fett solo film.

Coming just off of Logan, I think this an inspired choice for a Star Wars film, especially since he is writing and directing. Certainly better than their original choice, Josh Trank (who was responsible for Fant4stic).

Of course, hard to say how much studio interference will play into this, but I remain ever optimistic (note: I haven't seen Solo yet)

Josh Trank? More like Josh TANK. Hahaha I'm not funny at all.

But seriously, while Mangold seems like a good choice right now due to recency bias, I still have trouble getting over the Silver Samurai from The Wolverine. Just complete garbage. Disney, much like Fox, is pretty notorious for being an overbearing studio, so I'm remaining very cautious.

Personally I would love to see Paul Thomas Anderson direct a one-off Star Wars film. Disney definitely has the money to hire him were he ever interested.
