After receiving generally mixed to positive reviews by both critics and fans alike, Director James Mangold goes on to explain to a fellow Twitter user when fans of The Wolverine can expect the sequel to start filming as of right now. The conversation follows below...









So what do you think CBM family? Can we possibly expect to see the sequel to The Wolverine release in 2017 if X-Men: Apocalypse is already aimed for a May 27, 2016 release? Where would you like to see the sequel go and why? Sound off in the comment section.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

Meanwhile there's no word on Deadpool or X-Force.

I thought their contract was as long as they kept making movies within time frames fox kept the rights.

All I know is that the X-Force script is finished and it's gained a lot of praise that comic fans will love. It's featuring five total members on the team and Cable and Deadpool will be in it as well.

Too bad. Lol it's happening. Don't go see it.

But after The Wolverine, I'm so excited for this.

GizmoEl, exactly, I don't know why some idiot would think other wise.

If they can take all of the good elements of The Wolverine and build from them (maybe committing a bit more strongly, tone-wise), I'll be a happy camper.

TheRationalNerd - 3/15/2014, 4:27 PM
I wonder if newcomers to the character of Cable will be all like "They copied that from The Winter Soldier?!" lol

@McNy Notice how Millar was hyping Wadlow(director of Kick-Ass 2) for X-Force to FOX. Then after KA2 came out, we didn't hear anything else about X-Force...lol

@McNyagano

No prob at all my brotha!

@ATrueHero1987

Lol, it's been on mute for a while I can't lie about that, but it's definitely getting the green light.

@McNy

And I don't know man... They haven't really gave it an official release date but my bet would probably be the same year as Apocalypse o show of the alternate future perspective or 2017 (possibly) along with The Wolverine sequel.

So he is in Apocalypse...that was sort of up in the air...

I'll see it..last one was good enough to warrant me going back in for Mangold...
BatmanHeisenberg
BatmanHeisenberg - 3/15/2014, 4:49 PM
Liked. But I am eager to see this now.

this nearly confirms Hugh will be back after Days of Future Past! I hope he has a cameo or small part in Apocalypse (Id like to see Hugh Wolverine getting possessed as a henchmen of Apocalypse. It would give the GA a "sentimental" feel that comic fans felt for Angel...)

@Blacknerd great job and I was wondering if you knew which team members will be on x-force?
Bloodraven
Bloodraven - 3/15/2014, 5:05 PM
Stop making shit up @DrDoom. Fox keep the rights to X-Men as long as they bring out on film at least every four years.

IMO, The Wolverine was the only X-Men film that was just alright.
McNyagano
McNyagano - 3/15/2014, 5:06 PM
"Do we honestly need another Wolverine solo film."

Yeah sure, why not? We've had 5 Wolverine films now with a 6th one coming this year, I think people like him. That's why we're getting a 7th;)

They should redo The Weapon X story and do it properly this time, Days of Future Past gives them the opportunity to do that. Cold War setting with Omega Red as the villain.

marvel studios & fox should loan characters to each other.

marvel studios wants silver surfer & galactus for their cosmic movies.

fox can borrow the hulk,wolverine 3:wolverine vs hulk.
