Wolverine Filming Next Year?

Hugh Jackman reveals tidbits at the People's Choice Awards!

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!"

To watch the actual video, follow this link:

and click on Hugh Jackman Backstage.

That's all for now!
Wadey out!

My problem with these prequels is that none of it matters.We know Logan isn't going to get his memory back.We know he's not going to die, so where's the danger and suspense?We know from the comics and the future X movies that he won't end up with Mariko.He'll either have to leave her or she'll die.Now, I know it's a trend in the comics for Logan to lose every woman he gets involved with, but that would just be depressing for him to lose a woman every movie.

Basically, the only way to make these prequels count is to just focus on telling cool action stories.Don't even pretend like he's going to uncover his past, or find a woman.We already know those things probably won't happen.

why make another film when the last on was so bad. it's like when fox made x3 they decided they were just gonna make the movies worse and worse. hopefully they don't screw this up or else there will be hell to pay.

Wadey, you're dreamin!

Ironically enough, they already screwed up on X2 by introducing Yuriko as if Logan didn't recognize her.

could be great.i would like to see the silver samuria,sabretoothe,lady deathstrike,sunfire,and x23 above all other mutants in this film but omega red and sauron could fit nicely in the film as mutants hunting wolverine for stryker,and suaron could even be asian.cant wait to see what they do with this maybe they will make something great this time around,then they can move on to x-4,and 5 and give characters like colossus,angel,iceman,gambit,beast,and nightcrawler some great stories.first class just might be pretty sweet to since singers returning. maybe it will be a new trilogy and they can add some new mutants like beak tito bohusk,angel salvador,glob herman,chamber,husk,anole,rockslide,prosimian,orb weaver,sinister,and apocalypse,and do the whole sentinels hunting mutants story. man they could make some great movies if they try,if not give it back to marvel.

Even though I didnt like Wolverine: Origins I'll still give the sequel a shot. No real anticipation for it.

Damn right it better be, Leee! I'll give it another chance, but it's on REAL thin ice. It bothers me that I hate the film about one of my favorite characters. Don't [frick] this up Huge Jack-Man.

You can't blame Origins on Jackman, he has done a great job with the character. If they focus on the story, movie will be awesome.

Ozy, you should have Snyder direct your life! jk

I completely agree with Kenny. Prequels mean the same old characters with nothing new and exciting. Plus part of the appeal of Wolverine is that his past is shrouded in mystery. Even the comic "Origins" didn't reveal everything. I don't think I wanna know all about Wolverine's past. I mean I like Hue Jackman, but I'm getting a little tired of X-Men movies filled with colorful characters that only focus on Wolverine and no one else.

I liked origins even with its flaws and I hope they do make it a better film.

Jusme6- I agree that a lot of the X-Men films were already focused on Wolverine but I cant help it I dig wolverine. I do hope that they expand on Gambit and make a film based on him because he does have a huge back story and his own villains that are just as interesting as Wolverine's.

BETTY @ Hell yeah!!


DOGS @ Yes i do blame JACKMAN for BORIGINS, he was partly involved, he just bent over and took it, much like REYNOLDS did!!! : D

I didn't mind the first Wolvie movie they messed a few things up the worst being DP but quite a few things were right and the action was pretty good, it was just so crammed full of stuff that it didn't appear so, hopefully the next movie isn't so crammed full of characters that they can focus on story.

The unfortunate part is, no matter how crappy a Wolvie movie is, we're all STILL gonna watch it. I'm getting tired of Jackman's Wolverine, there's spirit but no soul.

WHO KNOWS, THEY MIGHT MAKE IT EPIC...




GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 1/9/2010, 6:52 PM
BUT LETS THINK LIKE FOX..EVEN WITH A NEW DIRECTOR, THEY WILL WANT TO BOLSTER THE CAST LIKE THEY DID WITH THE FIRST ONE, SO IF IN TERMS OF"HOW DO WE FOX THIS UP" THEY WILL WANT THE MOVIE TO HAVE MORE THAN WHAT THE BOOKS MAY HAVE HAD IN THEM, MEANING"WORK SOME OF THE COOL WOLVERINE CHARACTERS IN"..IF I WERE TO TAKE A STAB AT IT THEY MAY JUST INCLUDE (FORCE IN)THESE CHARACTERS TO DRAW IN MORE..

i read on IMDb that Christopher McQuarrie is writing it, so i am stoked for Origins 2, i personally enjoyed the first Origins. Jackman and the small part Reynolds had made the movie.
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 1/9/2010, 6:57 PM
@BryEl: Not me. Unless I see signs that this one will be quite a bit better I won't even bother with it. I swear I won't even watch it.

GUNSMITH - 1/9/2010, 7:00 PM
OH AND HE NEEDS TO WEAR THE DAMN COSTUME THIS TIME.

you wont catch me near this unless there's a massive improvement and i mean massive and no interference from fox either.

Gunsmith, we'll never get to see the costume. I think it's time we all stopped dreaming.
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 1/9/2010, 7:24 PM
True dat Guardian-Costume won't make it with one exception. He goes to Japan to train in martial arts. They give him something close to classic uni as he takes on a bunch of ninjas. Just throwin it out there in case someone who can do something reads this. It gives us fans a chance to see what we've been dreaming of.

@GUNSMITH: If you look at this samurai uniform, it has some elements of the costume. Combine that with a ninja outfit (both based in Japan) you have a good reason to bring in the costume. Not a big Wolvie fan, so I probably won't see this, but here's to keeping hope alive. : )

They'll give him the costume. I think they'll feel "safe" enough because of all the ninjas and other characters in costume. But to [frick] it up they'll put Omega Red or Cable or Bishop or some other character that came years after the story.

Not a huge Wolverine fan but a comicbook nut so I know plenty about him. The Japan story should put a new light on Logan. No way can this film get messed up. Oh wait its still in the hands of Fox.

After the last movie full of dodgy CGI and pointless/continuity killing cameos, I can honestly say I wouldnt give a [frick] if this movie was never made!

To me Origins was GOOD sure they messed some thing up,
and BARAKAPOOL was one of them, but to me that wasn't
deadpool..it was a F*** up of Wade Wilson's history, he never actually became deadpool..actually they NEVER even
called him deadpool..they always said WADE. I can look past that since we are FINALLY getting a REAL Deadpool
movie really soon.

And Wolvie 2 in JAPAN that is going to be awesome! Jackman is really good at playing wolvie!..NO one would be as good as Jackman when playing wolvie. I am looking forward to this one.

Are you sure we're getting a real deadpool movie pete? Until I hear more than reynolds being excited I don't think I'll be holding my breath over either wolverine 2 or the deadpool movie.
