The Wolverine Sequel

Lots of stuff has been happening on the Wolverine sequel in the past few weeks including the confirmation of a new director and a strong indication as to when shooting will begin.

The story so far… first director Darren Aronofsky was all signed on, the script was coming together (Logan was heading to Japan) and shooting was set to begin around spring this year, but then due in part to the environmental crisis in Japan and Aronofsky’s worries about being away from his family for a long period of time, he pulled out and the production was back to square one. Loads of potential names were then thrown around as a replacement, including Duncan Jones (Moon) and Mark Romenak (Never Let Me Go) but now Fox have revealed that neither of them will take the director’s chair, that honour will be taken by James Mangold.

Mangold has worked in a variety of genres including action adventure (Knight and Day), character drama (Walk the Line) and even Stallone action (Copland… it’s a genre!) so I will be interested to see what he brings to the table. Also, Jackman has let slip that production is going to begin this autumn, so the film will most likely be hitting cinema screens late summer 2012.

I wasn’t a massive fan of the first Wolverine spin off so I’m hoping Mangold and Jackman will really up the game for the sequel, keep checking back to GCB for all the latest Wolverine 2 news.

Oh and since I couldn’t find any related photos to go with this news piece, I attached a photo of Jackman looking ripped whilst preparing for the role back in February.

LOOK AT THAT NECK!
