In a recent conversation with Super Hero Hype at CinemaCon, The X-Men and Wolverine actor talked about the status of The Wolverine and the absence of his friend Darren Aronofsky from the Director's chair.
"We need to find another director and once we've found that, we'll be able to know. It's too early to call on Japan, I'm not sure where they're at, so now we're finding another director, but Fox is very anxious to make the movie and we're moving ahead full steam to find another director."
The Wolverine is currently looking for a director.
