This comes as no surprise to me. Hugh Jackman is most likely the biggest Wolverine fan on this Earth, so he would be most excited to reveal "Wolverine 2"'s progress! For those of you who thought "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" could have been better, here is some comforting news from Superhero Hype!:
"Scooper 'Narrows101' pointed us to the People's Choice Awards 2010 website where you can find a video of Hugh Jackman, who won "Favorite Action Star," talking briefly about "Wolverine 2."
In the video titled 'Hugh Jackman Backstage,' Jackman first says that he's going to shoot the Shawn Levy-directed Real Steel this summer, followed by this: 'Wolverine's going to be back. He's going to Japan. We shoot that probably in a year, year-and-a-half, something like that.'
Considering the 2011 shoot, we guess that they'll be eying a summer 2012 release."
The sequel to "Wolverine" is said to focus on Logan's travels through Japan. Which in turn is based off what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine comic!
As long as Fox doesn't botch it up like some other poorly concieved comic based movies, this film could likely turn out to be greater than even "X2!"

That's all for now!
Wadey out!
