| Writer/director [[wikipedia:James_Gunn|James Gunn]] and producer [[wikipedia:Peter_Safran|Peter Safran]] were announced as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the newly formed [[wikipedia:DC_Studios|DC Studios]] at the end of October 2022. A week after starting their new roles, the pair had begun working with a group of writers to develop an eight-to-ten-year plan for a new [[wikipedia:DC_Universe_(franchise)|DC Universe]] (DCU). Around that time, director [[wikipedia:James_Mangold|James Mangold]] contacted Gunn and Safran to see if there was room for a new [[wikipedia:Swamp_Thing|Swamp Thing]] film in their DCU plan. Mangold wanted to make a standalone [[wikipedia:Gothic_horror|Gothic horror]] film with elements of [[wikipedia:Film_noir|film noir]], taking inspiration from ''[[wikipedia:Frankenstein|Frankenstein]]'' (1818) and ''[[wikipedia:RoboCop|RoboCop]]'' (1987), which showed a man waking up as a monster. His interest in working on a DCU project was publicly reported in December. On January 31, 2023, Gunn and Safran unveiled the first projects from their DCU slate, which begins with Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The fifth film in that chapter was revealed to be a new Swamp Thing film that would explore the character's [[wikipedia:Origin_story|origin story]]. Gunn and Safran said it would be a [[wikipedia:Horror_film|horror film]] and tonally different from the other DCU projects. Gunn added that the film would take specific inspiration from [[wikipedia:Alan_Moore|Alan Moore]]'s 1984–85 ''[[wikipedia:Swamp_Thing_(comic_book)#Alan_Moore|The Saga of the Swamp Thing]]'' comic book run. After the announcement, Mangold posted a picture of Swamp Thing on social media. He was confirmed to be in negotiations to write and direct the film the next day, but was not expected to start work until he had completed ''[[wikipedia:Indiana_Jones_and_the_Dial_of_Destiny|Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny]]'' (2023) and the [[wikipedia:Bob_Dylan|Bob Dylan]] biopic ''[[wikipedia:A_Complete_Unknown|A Complete Unknown]]''. Mangold said in April that he had begun writing the script. He was working on a [[wikipedia:Star_Wars#Upcoming_films|planned ''Star Wars'' film]] at the same time, and was unsure which project would move forward first. Gunn described ''Swamp Thing'' as a passion project for Mangold.
