If Wolverine wasn’t enough of a mutant fix for you, fear not. A sequel is already in development. Further details and revelations after the break…
While “Wolverine” continues to light up the box office across the world, and after an $87 million opening, a sequel is already in the works.
According to Variety, Jackman is developing a story under his ‘Seed Productions’ company. The sequel will likely be focused on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, which is previewed in the final credits of the film. Gavin Hood is expected to direct again, but no writer has yet been announced.
Hugh Jackman has previously stated that the Claremont-Miller comic series is his favorite Wolverine story - “There are so many areas of that Japanese story, I love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world - I can see it aesthetically, too - full of honor and tradition and customs and someone who’s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way. The idea of the samurai, too - and the tradition there. It’s really great. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai - not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first.”
Rumors also continue to swirl of possible spin-off films featuring the characters of Gambit and Deadpool.
