UPDATE: 4/2 - If you haven't figured it out yet, this was an April Fool's Day fake story.
Award-winning director Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) has been lauded for his approach to Marvel’s furry mutant in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine film. However, last night’s announcement that Hood had been hired on to direct the sequel caused an Internet furor because of his comments about bringing in Jessica Biel (7th Heaven) to play Logan’s long-lost daughter, “Wolverina.”
Hood said:
“So, this character, this feral girl, is something that Logan left behind…(Jessica’s) got great instincts and would really be able to flesh out the character.”
Not only is the name of the character terrible, but there is no such character in the Marvel lexicon, which has fans pulling out their hair in frustration. It has been suggested that Wolverina may be partially based upon the Marvel Comics character
X-23 an alternate-reality clone of Wolverine.
