Dropping in to a tweet from Ron Howard congratulating his daughter on returning to season two of The Mandalorian, James Mangold made it very clear that he has nothing to do with the hit Disney Plus show.
Hey Ron. I’m so pleased if it’s true about Bryce directing another part of Mandalorian, but I can tell you its not true about me. Not doing it, never discussed it. And I suggest fans should look at who’s “reporting” this & make a note that these sites present conjecture as fact.

Of course, if he’s been asked not to confirm his involvement, or if he is in negotiations for the big chair of the fifth Indiana Jones film then he’d be well advised to deny everything, but such a forthright denial certainly leans strongly towards him not being involved with the TV show.
