	Log in to remove this sponsored message quote Wolverine 2 Greenlit Japan-set sequel confirmed after Logan's monstrous opening weekend. by Orlando Parfitt, IGN UK UK, May 5, 2009 - After X-Men: Origins: Wolverine grossed a sizable $87m in the US in its opening weekend, 20th Century Fox has moved quickly to greenlight a sequel. Variety reports that the studio, along with Hugh Jackman and Seed Productions, has begun to plan the follow-up, although a writer has yet to be hired. As expected, it will focus on the Japanese-set storyline that Jackman his been angling for in recent interviews, where his character - in an effort to control his bestial ways - trains in the way of the samurai, and also falls in love with the daughter of a Yakuza crime lord. It's "The Last Samurai" with claws! I wonder if this will result in Magneto being put on the backburner? I almost hope it does, because if I have to get given a new X-Men film every year with this butchering of the franchise then that's going to really kill any hope I had for a Marvel reboot. ------------------- quote The Living Angelus Wii U is garbage, just like Wii was garbage, just like GameCube was garbage, just like N64 was garbage.

	While I expect everyone will end up looking forward to this, shit'll suck if it pushes back any of the other X-Men projects planned. I'd much rather see a deep Magneto film than a fairly shallow action film.

	Looks like they may be trying to adapt the 4 issue Wolverine miniseries from 1987 created by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller...a good choice, if it's true. That was Wolverine's first solo excursion outside of the X-men comics (aside from his debut appearance in The Incredible Hulk), and gave us a whole new perspective on the character. Let's hope they don't screw this up like they did the recent film. It would be great if they could get Chris Claremont and Frank Miller on board as advisers. ------------------- quote Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

	Hey, in this one maybe we can make Deadpool into a Yakuza with ice breath and the ability to shoot lightning out of his hands. Or they could just introduce a ton of other mutants, only to not develop them and make you wonder why they were in the movie. ------------------- R.I.P.

	^ Pretty much every mutant in the film had some justification for being there, even getting a decent amount of development for the small time they were in it.

	Ah right, of which I'm on the same page. Archangel could have been done so awesome, I even thought his little prelude thing was absolutely ace. Nevermind, the trilogy was a flop.

	quote Star of Spurs This sounds awful, if I'm honest. The only thing that'll keep it afloat is Wolverine. Well, the original Japan storyline from the comics was a classic, great story by Chris Claremont with great Frank Miller artwork...but I don't hold out any hope for Hollywood doing it right. ------------------- quote Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

	quote Hawkeye Is this the storyline where he falls for the guys daughter, and then the guy footplants him in the face and beats him? Yeah, he's in love with Mariko, and her father kicks his ass pretty hard (Logan's heart just wasn't in it). After that he spends quite a bit of the story drunk, running around Tokyo with a female vigilante, taking on "The Hand" ninja clan if I remember right. He eventually gets his shit together and defeats Mariko's father, regaining his honor. The interesting thing about the book was that it's the first time we find out Logan has this whole history as a covert operative. ------------------- quote Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

	What are the other planned X-men projects?
