Len Wiseman, director of "Underworld" and the upcoming sequel in the "Die Hard" franchise, "Live Free or Die Hard" is currently in a good spot at 20th Century Fox and he has potential to be named director of the Wolverine project.
In speaking with Superhero Hype! Wiesman said; "'Wolverine' is something I was interested in way before I was talking to these guys about 'Die Hard, I think it would be a great story to tell, and in the case of that film, it wouldn't be [as big] in terms of large-scale action, but it's something I'm interested in, in his origin story and the character story with that, and I know how Hugh would play it, and that would be awesome. So that would be my passion for that is that I think the character story is really cool, and I'd love to see it and be there the first day [it opens] anyway. There's so many things that have been going on and I know that there are so many other directors. There's nothing set in any fashion, but it has been talked about."
