Mangold could, of course, be talking about numerous superhero films, including the recent X-Men instalment Apocalypse, as well as DC’s Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.
Take Avengers: Age of Ultron, for example; the last proper Avengers instalment not including Captain America: Civil War, itself basically another Avengers story.
James Mangold, who directed Logan and The Wolverine, has spoken critically about ‘tentpole’ films, calling them “two-hour trailers.”
The third Wolverine film has grossed over $500 million worldwide from a $97 million budget and continues to dominate the box-office.
