Recent reports have indicated that Jessica Biel was offered the part of Viper. She then went on record to say that it wasn't a done deal that she may star in James Mangold's upcoming movie The Wolverine which is based off the comic book storyline by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.

Collider is now reporting that Jessica Biel's negotiations with 20th Century Fox are no longer happening and that the studio is perusing other actresses to play the part of "Viper" in the upcoming movie The Wolverine. Shooting is expected to start for the movie next month. Hugh Jackman has already prepared plans to stay in Australia during filming, whilst Will Yun Lee has been cast as the Silver Samurai. Be sure to stay tuned right here at ComicBookMovie as more casting news and set photos should appear this summer.

@Just1Superguy: Thor was weakest performance? Not in my book. Also if you consider Loki there was a huge Asgardian influence in the Avengers.

The first Thor movie was better and did better at the box office than Captain America. Even in the U.S.

That said, 480 million would be enough for another sequel and that's good enough for me.

There is way better actresses out there
BUT it's not like the new Wolverine franchise is serious about their films ... I mean, look at the last one?

I do like the inclusion of Viper though. Seems cool.

@Mrcool210

She was never officially in it, so she hasn't technically dropped out. Besides, 2 people wouldn't be 'everyone.' There are movies that have been through way worse.

Bad for her career, good for the movie.

I see Fox still is still basing its casting choices on finding the next pinup model rather than finding talented people to fit the part.

I dropped out of this movie too. I said it should be called The WolverBEANE. They didn't agree, so I bounced.

Why not to stop doing more Wolverine movies, and focus on just the First Class series, spending more money and effort with them, and giving us amazing x-men sequels?

I wouldnt be mad :D

Even though Jessica is so hot she almost revolves back around to ugly, we definitely should be thankful of this news, she's a terrible actress.

I'm glad they are doing this flick, but will be happy when they reboot the entire wolverine franchise.
