The Real Steel actor said that Mangold had particularly looked at Clint Eastwood's 1976 movie The Outlaw Josey Wales to create his own version of The Wolverine.
He told Moviefone: "We had an image of this movie like The Outlaw Josey Wales, which I love.
"And he has a really great take on it. Yes, it's going to be different than Darren [Aronofsky]'s version, but I think it's going to be just as great from what I've seen. And he's doing his tweaks to what is already a very strong script."
Mangold replaced Aronofsky after the Black Swan director pulled out because of scheduling commitments.
Christopher McQuarrie's script is currently being retweaked by Mark Bomback to fit Mangold's vision.
