Matt Reeves Takes Himself Out Of The Running For Wolverine 2

Matt Reeves Takes Himself Out Of The Running For Wolverine 2

Along with David Slade and Darren Aronofsky etc, Fox were looking at the Let Me In director to potentially helm the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Indeed at one point it was believed that it had come down to him and Tony Scott. Well, we know it won't be Scott, and we now know it won't be Reeves..

Reeves is one of the directors on the DC/WB short list to direct their upcoming Superman reboot, but that's not the only CBM the in demand director of Cloverfield and Let Me In is/was attached to.

According to Worstpreviews..

When we sat down with him to talk about "Let Me In," we asked about "Wolverine 2" to which he replied that he has had talks about the sequel but that he will definitely not direct it. Reeves didn't clarify whether the studio chose someone else or if he decided against taking the job.

Is Wolverine's loss Superman's gain? Last we heard from Reeves on the Man Of Steel front he said he was "surprised" and: "I really have no idea if any of that is true. It's certainly an amazing project."

As far as Wolverine 2 goes, we know that Hugh Jackman has met with both Aronofsky and Slade, but neither director has been very forthcoming with further information. All we do know is that the story will focus on Logan's time in Japan.

Keep an eye on CBM for further updates on both of the above projects.
