Last update that we had on the film was a month ago when 20th Century Fox's CEO Tom Rothman at Las Vegas' CinemaCon said that part of The Wolverine would be filmed in Japan. More specifically location work would take place in Japan and studio work in Australia.






Plot - Logan beginning a forbidden romance with a Japanese woman whose hand in marriage is, unfortunately, promised to another man. Since Logan won’t take “no” for an answer, it puts him into battle with her father and her samurai-sword-wielding brothers and Silver Samurai.

The Wolverine will be directed by James Mangold (Knight and Day), the script has been written by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects). Hugh Jackman will of course be back in the lead role of Logan/Wolverine, and the film will claw into theaters July 26, 2013.

I'm so tired of Jackman's Wolverine. The X-universe is the one series I'd happily take a reboot with

Dammit Fox! Just sell the right to Marvel Studios do they can get it right! I love Hugh Jackman, but I feel he needs a new agent, he get put into such shitty films. He's a good actor IMHO, just bad luck recently. Real Steel was OK.

I think Jackman would have made a great Punisher.

Fox is garbage. They should sell all of their CBM rights to Marvel Studios so they won't handicap the genre anymore.

I've been waiting 25 years for this movie. It sounds like they are going straight from the first Wolverine limited series. It should be awesome!

I've always thought the X-Men movies could've been better even though I found them enjoyable.

But I think Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine is terrific. I can't wait for this movie. I think it's going to have low appeal initially but that people are going to come to love this film when it hits screens.

Yes....more Wolverine screen time, at last. Out of the thousand x-men universe characters how does this single minded, brooding dog get so much screen love.

We need a real Wolverine movie. Rated R for gore, and violence, and stay close to the source material... and dammit.. we need the mask.

First class is way overrated. None of the xmen movies have been that good so far and origins was a [frick]in tragedy so I'm hoping this one will be good.

Lol Fox will never sell, or give the rights back to Marvel, especially since the Avengers has proven that the superhero film is not dead, but also a massive money maker.

They would not sell 3 popular comic franchises just to watch another studio profit from them when they can do it themselves, you will have to pry Daredevil, the X-Men, and the Fantastic four from their cold dead hands before they go anywhere.
