When Gavin Hood was asked about his return he had this to say:
"I don’t even know if I would be involved. Right now I’m not attached. Nobody’s attached. They’re developing a script and we’ll see where everybody is. I’m hoping to be shooting something next year and I don’t think that ‘Wolverine’ will be ready for next year. I haven’t been approached one way or another. The studio is obviously very cautious. They want to see how Wolverine does on DVD. Let them develop the script, let’s see what the script looks like, let’s see how the studio feels about the script, how Hugh [Jackman] feels about it and then we’ll take it from there."
So maybe he will return. He sounds like he would want to do it if the script was good enough and people liked it. Hopefully the DVD sales will be good so that the movie will come out as soon as possible and give us the Japan story that we all want. When asked about the Japan storyline, he had this to say:
"Certainly in Wolverine 2, in the Japanese saga, we will stay very close to the source material. I think it’s just best that way. He went on to say,
"I knew everyone was excited by the story in Japan, which I then read and I absolutely do think is a wonderful story and they should do it…I just think that the Japanese story is so iconic and beautiful and could be so visual." He then continued to say,
"And honestly, here’s the truth: if the Japanese story works, there might be another sequel. And if it doesn’t, there won’t be. You can get ahead of yourselves by sort of stirring up rumors of what might be. I’m not going to even go there."
So what do you think? Will Hood return? Should Hood return? Is the Japanese storyline the next best step? Discuss it all and more below.
