The Force will be distributed through Fox, which is also developing a Ford vs. Ferrari period racing drama with Mangold attached to direct.
According to Deadline, Mangold has signed on to direct The Force, which centers on a corrupt NYPD sergeant named Denny Malone — several high-profile actors are reportedly under consideration to take on the complex role.
Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the director of last year’s Logan to land on his next gig: The Force.
Ridley Scott is still on board to produce the adaptation, with Logan screenwriter Scott Frank currently revising the script.
