It wasn’t until I had my recent conversation with acclaimed filmmaker James Mangold that I made the deeper connections between the ending of his incredible Wolverine film, Logan, and the resolution he reached with Harrison Ford’s classic character for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Both movies were viewed as final chapters in the long-running sagas of these classic characters, and both had important messages to say about the personalities. In Mangold’s opinion, both were happy endings, and the very last moment of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brings with it an even deeper meaning, which Mangold was happy to share.
