Director Darren Aronofsky has recently singed a two year deal in which his production company Protozoa will produce films for Twentieth Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures.

The first film in this deal will be the sequel to the 2009 box office hit and X-Men prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The sequel will be written by Oscar winning scribe Christopher McQuarrie starring Hugh Jackman returning as the title character, Wolverine.

According to the article filming is slated to begin in April of next year. The company is said to be looking for a winter of 2011 release date. The film so far only stars Jackman as we follow Wolverine directly after the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The sequel will take place in Japan. No other cast members singed on as of now, though casting should start soon if they're aiming for a spring start.

Sounds like they're either rushing it or it'll be no action snore fest that wont require much in the way of post-production CGI. Either way, [frick] Fox. I like Aronofsky but I'm not paying to see this!

Yeah but @ StrangerX.... After the SH1T their pulling over at FIST A$$ camp I don't give a sh1T, time to make a stand and get our X-Universe back at MARVEL STUDIOS anyhow possible!

What FOX is doing with X-Men: First Class is unforgivable!

I remember in 1976, I heard about this film that the young up-and-comer, George Lucas was directing about a Flash Gorden-esque space flick, for the modern age. I thought "This sounds pretty neat, but I'm not going to pay any of my money to see it. It's FOX! It'll be shit. Lucas should take his property to another Corporate Empire, like Disney or something."

@JoshW "Sounds like they're either rushing it or it'll be no action snore fest that wont require much in the way of post-production CGI."

Many, many years' worth of martial arts films begged me to remind you there's a practically-shot middle ground.

BaneKill77 don't take this as fact I read it a while ago and might have misinterpreted it. it still will most likely be 2012 but its to late to change the article

I'm sorry to who ever thinks that fox cares one once about what fans think your fooling yourselves. After the crap fest that was origins I will not spend my hard earned money on one of their comic book movies again even if Marvel never gets the x-propertys back. fox wont be getting my money either.

If they decide to...
1.Put him in a suit that resembles the brown and yellow legendary costume. (I wanna say get a mask on his face but I don't believe it's going to be snowing in hell during 2011)
2.Play with the whole Silver Samurai villain thing.
And 3. Throw some Hand ninjas.
...then it may have a chance!

Sounds ok (if he gets brown costume), but I want Deadpool movie!!!!

If it means wolvie for winter 2011 release, give Deadpool fall 2012 release.

Good to hear more people coming out in favor of seeing Wolvie suited up this time. I was starting to think everyone had lost their friggin minds.

SINGER WAS THE ONE THAT KILLED THE MASKS...IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, WOLVERINE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD ONE THAT WAS AN ICONIC LOOK. I PETITION FOR THE SUIT...YOU CANT DO JAPAN WITHOUT IT. IF THE SUIT DOESN'T SHOW YOU CAN [WannabeSite]E FOX...BECAUSE THATS WHAT FOX DOES TO CBM'S...THEY "FOX" THEM.

They are going to take a great story and turn it into a bad one. This is what Fox does.

Why would I waste my money on that?

@jimoakley666 sorry dude but those movies were crap. You are among a very small percentage of comic book fans who actually approve of the way the xmen were depicted. The casting was horrible. The special effects were worse. They strayed so far from the source material that they should have just abandoned it altogether and called the movie something else. If they'd have cast Danny Devito as Wolverine and Oprah Winfrey as Storm it would not have been worse.
