Logan director James Mangold is taking on the upcoming Boba Fett Star Wars spinoff film

Looks like the Star Wars universe under Disney will be expanding in bigger and bolder ways than we could hope for, as "The Wolverine" and "Logan" director James Mangold will be writing and directing the upcoming "Boba Fett" spin-off film - centering on the fan-favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter whose early days in the game have yet to be chronicled past his childhood and relationship with his template/ dad Jango Fett during the Star Wars prequel films.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mangold will be joined by fellow X-Men Movies alum and writer-producer Simon Kinberg, who will also co-write and produce the upcoming project. No details have been released yet on the film, but it's safe to say that we'll learn more things about it soon along with the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off film.
