[JLR]

Please forgive me if this has been posted already. If so, please feel free to combine with the existing thread.

From Variety:

Hugh Jackman and Seed Productions partner John Palermo are ramping up several projects for the "Wolverine" star.

Fox and Seed are in development on a sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which topped the domestic box office over the weekend.

The Seed partners have begun planning the sequel, which they are squarely focusing on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, and whose Japanese locale was teased after the film's final credits. A writer has yet to be hired. Seed will produce.

Are you kidding me? I'm no plant. I lurk and only post when I feel like it...

I don't see any need to accuse someone of being a studio plant just because they are posting a published article from Variety. :huh:

[Wiseman]

Are you kidding me? I'm no plant. I lurk and only post when I feel like it...

5 years. Only a hundred and something posts and a new Wolverine movie is important enough for one of your rare posts? I don't know what or who you are but that does seem kinda weird

[Chewy]

Yay! :dry:

I hope Silver Samurai gets laser eyes

[Symbiotic]

Looking forward to it.

[craigdbfan]

Great. :csad:

I wonder how more cuddly and friendly they are going to make Wolverine in this film.

Dude, you've got issues. I thought I was being helpful.

No wonder I stopped posting here to begin with...people like you.

[danoyse]

Enough. Stop making silly accusations.

[Wiseman]

I don't see any need to accuse someone of being a studio plant just because they are posting a published article from Variety. :huh:

I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I've just always wondered about that and I asked about it. I'm sorry, I won't post about that anymore

[Chewy]

If anything, lots of people are more likely to pop up or re-pop up around when these movies are released to discuss them

[Deaths Head II]

Yep, I knew it was going to happen.

I wonder if this one will reach the 20s on Rottentomatoes...maybe the 10s...

[danoyse]

Looking forward to it.

Me too. :up:

[Rasputin911]

Yep, I knew it was going to happen.

I wonder if this one will reach the 20s on Rottentomatoes...maybe the 10s...

how many plot twists you think? maybe only 20 this time....but i'm sure there will be a dozen more unneeded mutants to be introduced and then discarded

lol, the only negative post

[night0205]

lol...

Ok i must admit that the little wolverine screaming into the sky was almost as bad as Darth Vader, but wolverine has already grown up so we don't have to be afraid of that anymore for the sequal. I'm looking forward to it!

I love the face of the emperor in that picture!!! "It seems in your anger you have killed her."

Great. :csad:

Another butchery of the Ninja mythos is on the way... I think I am just going to stick with this new Ninja Assassins movie coming out.

[night0205]

I actually hope they make him more violent because he lost his memory, make him more animal like...but that's high hopes for a fox pg-13 film.

[Rasputin911]

^he'd have to kill that entire kindergarten to make up for the pussy-do-gooder he's been in the past films

Good news :up: They are taking it in the right direction and hopefully no more silly plot devices are necessary.

[Project862006]

he wasn't even bad ass in origins i felt he was more of an anti hero and rebel in x3

[katie_girl09]

Ew. Another Wolverine movie? We haven't even gotten a proper team movie yet. :(

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Ew. Another Wolverine movie? We haven't even gotten a proper team movie yet. :(Thankyou Katie! Geeze when are we going to get an X-Men film and not Wolverine and friends. Having a main character in a team movie is fine but every single X-film focuses way too much on Wolverine.

[bullets]

They even call the cartoon Wolverine and the X-Men nowadays. I see no problem because Wolverine 2 and X-Men :First Class shouldn't be too far apart and then me hopes x:men 4

[Prison Mike]

I want a Gambit spin off damnit!

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^Now that would be an awesome idea...if Fox weren't incharge.

[TheComicbookKid]

Well, they had to announce the sequel on the positive buzz of the opening weekend cause if it plummets like Watchmen, people will wonder why.

[JP]

Oi, I really hope they announce First Class soon. I mean, at least that has a writer, and Stewart is apparently already on board.

[craigdbfan]

;16871092']http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3314/bub.jpg (http://img27.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bub.jpg)

:lmao:

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he had an entourage of little mutant children following him around. Now that would be quite the sequel.

[Episode29]

Oh... goody. Bring on the green screens and CG claws!

[Leenie]

I couldn't care less.

[Robin91939]

Oh... goody. Bring on the green screens and CG claws!

What was with the CG claws? Were they used in the first three films? I don't recall.....if they were they were definitely done better than that....speaking of bad CGI, how hard is it to render a good jet flying through the air...wow, that was bad. The rest of the CG was good- but the jet and the claws were horrendous.

-R

[night0205]

Trust me they CG'd Wolverine's claws many times in all the X-men movies.

Good news with the sequal...NOW DON'T SCREW IT UP!!!

I don't want this franchise turning into fantastic four.

[JokerLedger]

God, I'm really freakin sick of Wolverine.
Atleast give him the costume and mask in the sequel.

[Episode29]

God, I'm really freakin sick of Wolverine.
Atleast give him the costume and mask in the sequel.

...and personality.

[Robin91939]

I don't want this franchise turning into fantastic four.

That was my point...it was never blatant in the first three films. In this film, especially the scene in the bathroom- and the scene where he sliced out of Alkali Lake...it just looked terrible...like completely fake. In the first three films, the claws never once looked fake or unconvincing.

-R

[Ghostvirus]

Great something for the fan children to complain about.:whatever:

[night0205]

I wouldn't say the x-men trilogy never showed bad looking claws ever. The first x-men had a full cgi wolverine flying around the crown of the statue of liberty...and everything looked bad including the claws.

[Episode29]

I wouldn't say the x-men trilogy never showed bad looking claws ever. The first x-men had a full cgi wolverine flying around the crown of the statue of liberty...and everything looked bad including the claws.

Yeah, that part was awful... Overall though, X1's Wolverine effects were pretty spot-on.

[Episode29]

Great something for the fan children to complain about.:whatever:

Oh, well, la-di-da Mr. Fancy-pants!

[Spidey 2007]

I wouldn't say the x-men trilogy never showed bad looking claws ever. The first x-men had a full cgi wolverine flying around the crown of the statue of liberty...and everything looked bad including the claws.

not to mention logans entire left hand went missing for a split second after he cut the shot gun, in the bar showdown.

[louiebling$]

Oi, I really hope they announce First Class soon. I mean, at least that has a writer, and Stewart is apparently already on board.
Me too... i really looking forward to what they are gonna do with It... i want to FINALLY see a film where we see thwe Xmen shine through thier teamwork.

[night0205]

Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? 0_0

[Episode29]

Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? 0_0

Completely unrelated, but I really wish they had brought Toad back (Yeah, I know he was a last minute cut from X2's script). Ray Park was awesome in the role, and the character was a lot of fun.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Not too stoked, I'd much prefer X-Men: First Class, and then leave the franchise be.

Quality over quantity, folks.

[night0205]

Completely unrelated, but I really wish they had brought Toad back (Yeah, I know he was a last minute cut from X2's script). Ray Park was awesome in the role, and the character was a lot of fun.

I don't know what else they would have done with the character...he pretty much did all that toad does in X1.

[Episode29]

I don't know what else they would have done with the character...he pretty much did all that toad does in X1.

Probably true. But the planned battle between him and Nightcrawler could have been really cool.

[night0205]

I love Ray Park. The guys is awesome...Darth Maul, Toad...and he's snake eyes...probably one of the only things that will be good about GIJOE.

[Spade]

I'm indifferent. This was touted as a quality movie way back when Comic-Con was going on, yet I found it to be anything but. The M-rated video game ended up being more enjoyable. I can't imagine a sequel impressing me any more than this did. Plus, I don't know a person in real life who wasn't somewhat confused as to why an origin movie was necessary in the first place. Maybe I'll eat my words when the turnout for Wolverine 2 is even bigger than it was for this, but I don't see people coming back in droves.

[Episode29]

I love Ray Park. The guys is awesome...Darth Maul, Toad...and he's snake eyes...probably one of the only things that will be good about GIJOE.

Don't forget Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever!!! Eh? Eh?....

....:csad:

[night0205]

Don't forget Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever!!! Eh? Eh?....

....:csad:

lol...I saw that movie. Ray Park totally beat this girl up...beating her all over the place...and then she snaps his neck? 0_o talk about unbelievable.

[def28]

Wow, they green lit that one fast.

As long as they have a pissed off Wolverine, not throw in mutant cameos and lay off set ups for other character spinnoffs I think it could be good.

[night0205]

Yeah, even though I liked Wolverine, this is basically exactly what happened with Fantastic Four. The week fantastic four was released, it got pretty good opening, and FF 2 was green light. If i remember correctly, I just hope Hugh Jackman can improve things for the sequal. Although, the sequal to FF was little better...

[def28]

FF2 was a little better the the first one. Silver Surfer and Johnny Storm chase scene was cool.

I enjoyed certain scenes of Wolverine, the first 30 min I thought were great. The whole last half of the movie just lost it imo. And I thought the end was gonna be the best parts with the Gambit fight and Deadpool fight.

Maybe Jackman learned some lessons. I thought he said hes not producing another Wolverine or X flick.

Sorry....I HAD to....

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

Well if they're going to make another and do the Samurai storyline then they should at least give us a better movie this time.:wolverine

[Golgo-13]

Make him more aggressive in the sequel, and chalk it up to the memory loss, and i'm all for the sequel.

I guess we could possibly get Kelly Hu back as Deathstrike. :up: If they do use Deathstrike, i hope she isn't played by a different actress.

[Gatchamanjp]

It is great to hear about Wolverine 2 being greenlit. I loved the film and will see it again tomorrow. I hope Logan also fights, The Silver Samurai, Mariko's Dad, and many Hand Ninja. If successful, maybe Wolverine 3 could be set in my fave place in Wolverine's past...Madripoor.

[Juha]

If successful, maybe Wolverine 3 could be set in my fave place in Wolverine's past...Madripoor.

[Schlosser85]

So Liev Schreiber/Victor Creed probably wouldn't be in this?

Sorry....I HAD to....

[stardust]

Let's hope they've learned something from all the critics they got for Wolvie 1. But before a sequel I want to see Jackman in a couple of other movies.

[[A]]

They will learn nothing. And if they do, Rothman will shoot them with an adamantium bullet.

[FaT_tONle]

I guess we could possibly get Kelly Hu back as Deathstrike. :up: If they do use Deathstrike, i hope she isn't played by a different actress.

Hot... but too old. They'll go with someone like Kreuk... or Grace Park... or an unknown. Hopefully whomever they get can at least speak Japanese fluenty when needed.

[Angamb]

Hopefully they use Mystique and T'Challa in this sequel....


:whatever:

[Neptune]

Another Wolverine film? YES THANK YOU FOX! We never got a Wolverine film because he wasn't the star in the first 3 X-men movies and it's not like he had a solo flick. THANK YOU FOX!!! YESSSSS!!!

^Ditto.

Screw this solo crap, just put him back in the X-Men already.

[RonStoppablefan]

I knew it'd happen, Wolverine drew in a lot of numbers this weekend. I don't think they look online to see all the negative reviews, seems they only look at numbers..Meh I for one am looking forward to it. I always liked that storyline. Jackman said he wanted to.

[Punisher RULES]

cool.

[MrWayne]

Enter Tiger Shark!!

hey where was wolverine when he was patch? anyone remember that?? Ahhh ive got all the wolverine comics so ive followed all the timelines and locations... just havent cracked the old ones open in a while...

[squeekness]

I wouldn't mind a sequel. Heck they could even have Gambit in it, he knew Yukio as well. They were both theives and pulled a job together or at least crossed paths. It would work for me. :p

[Balthus Dire]

I wonder how the story will go this time? I'll bet Yuriko fakes her death to get Wolverine to become a Samurai, and then at the end even though Wolverine and Silver Samurai have been feuding the whole movie a big set of steel doors will open and it will be Wolverine vs THE WENDIGO!!!

[squeekness]

Hey! Wendingo could be cool with the right CGI. :p

[Gatchamanjp]

MrWayne, Wolverine's alias of Patch surfaced in...Madripoor, when he owned a Casablancaesque establishment, known as...The Princess Bar. The co-owner of the bar was, O'Donnell, and his partner was Tyger, Tyger a would be crime lord who stayed away from the drugs, and white slavery that her rival General Coy was heavilly into. Madripoor was run by it's Prince, who was also a fan of Actress Lindsay McCabe who was a partner in a detective agency run by ex-Spider-Woman Jessica Drew. I have been reading Essential Wolverine 1-3, and EW1 is almost entirely set in...Madripoor, and I think that is the best place Logan has been. Also Peter David was the writer, and he wrote Logan better than anyone, and that includes...Chris Claremont, one of my favorite writers.

I think it's possible, not like she's done much lately.

I just wonder how Fox is going to make this sequel. We all know they are going to add way more than is needed, including unncessary cameos because lets face it...the Japanese part of his history isn't that long unless you include the time where he goes back when he was already one of the X-men.

I guess it might work since they like 90-100 minute films but I really don't see only the Japanese story being good use for a whole film. Since he'll be over in that part of the world maybe they can have some scenes in Russia and we can finally get Omega Red on the big screen.

[sniktsnakt]

First reaction: "OOOH JAPAN! SOME OF MY FAVORITE COMIC ARCS ARE IN JAPAN! YUKIO! MARIKO! SILVER SAMURAI! DEATHSTRIKE! The potentials, the possibilities . . . !"

Second reaction: "Wait. They already did the "killing the girlfriend" with Jean, and the "Murdered Girlfriend" with Silverfox. Now what are they going to do with Mariko? . . . .

Probably give her laser eyes."

Third reaction: "Well, the comfort is that they'd have to try really hard to do worse than the first solo movie . . . . "

Fourth reaction: "Still, the amnesia might make him a deeper character. And isn't that the most ironic thing I've ever heard."

:p

Fifth reaction: "And I just thought I was going to be free from following movies for a while. Oh well."

So . . . when does the countdown start? Any details on directing, script, etc yet?

[AnorexicBatman]

I volunteer to leak the sequel.. wish me luck....

[logan_weapon_x]

The good news is I'm sure they said he wouldn't be producing this one ;)

Holy snap! I just followed the link to the whole article. Jackman's already signed up for three other movies, not counting Wolverine.

So how long are we going to have to wait for this one?

:(

[Canemacar]

Meh. I probably won't go see a Wolverine 2 unless it has Gambit in it again. That was my primary reason for even seeing the first one.

Ahhh, you just brought back all the memories.. thank you for that!! and yes "Peter David was the writer, and he wrote Logan better than anyone, and that includes...Chris Claremont, one of my favorite writers" couldnt agree more.. cant forget Larry Hama!!!!

[MrWayne]

btw how old would Gambit be by X1?? wasnt he supposed to be Rogues love interest?? Ewwwwww...

[AnorexicBatman]

40 years old....

[Canemacar]

btw how old would Gambit be by X1?? wasnt he supposed to be Rogues love interest?? Ewwwwww...

Thankfully, that won't be happening in the movies. for once, he's free from that harpy.

[Spider-Fan]

Let's not accept this movie happening as fact yet. FF3 and Silver Surfer were all go when FF2 was coming out, and look what happened there.

I think FOX is going to wait a while before deciding to officially do this. If this movie has heavy drops and doesn't outperform X2 or X3 (like I think it won't), I can see them putting this Wolverine sequel on the backburner and trying another film with the X-Team instead (like First Class). I think it'd be better that way anyway. This film was too generic and cookie cutter for me, and I can only see a sequel being the same (like FF2 was after FF).

FOX needs to put more effort into their next film. Not make a generic film. Wolverine I feel would have more legs if it looked like it was getting positive buzz, but it isn't getting much.

At this point, I think the Wolverine sub franchise is still salvageable. Hopefully they learned their lesson from the first film, and learned from the pair of turds that were Fantastic Four, that the sequel needs to be darned good. Cause with comic book movies, it seems to be a two-strike game.

[Spider-Fan]

Difference here is FF outperformed expectations. If FOX expected Wolverine to exceed X2 or X3's totals, then they will be disappointed. I don't think the series is salvageable because FOX isn't learning. All their comic films are cookie cutter, generic films (sans X1 and X2...though DD's DC I would say is not generic, FOX made a generic version of DD). FOX continues to not allow the filmmakers to make a movie that is more than a genric comic film. After FF, we said they'll learn for FF2. After FF2, maybe they'll learn for Wolverine. Wolverine suffers from the same problems as these movies and X3/Elektra/DD theatrical. Do you really think they'll learn? I don't.

[sniktsnakt]

I think the fact that they made the $$ will make this movie have a good chance of being made. And since they've bombed one, I figure chance alone will help them accidentally make WII a good movie.

And if that does well, I'd love to see him in Madripoor . . . . .

[Spade]

They haven't learned any lessons in the past, and this film has made more than enough money for them to say "why mess with what doesn't seem broken."

[Spider-Fan]

:up:

At least after SM3, Sony was smart enough to learn from the studio interference and give Raimi full control for SM4 (so Raimi says at least...we shall see in 2011). FOX just keeps doing the same thing, and I don't see how anyone can expect them to suddenly learn when there is a clear trend.

[sniktsnakt]

Hey . . . I'm trying to at least start out with an optimistic attitude. Help me out a little here.

:p ;)

[Project862006]

get Maggie Q for DeathStrike then

[Spider-Fan]

Hey . . . I'm trying to at least start out with an optimistic attitude. Help me out a little here.

:p ;)

After seeing this movie, I really can't :csad:

They squandered good talent with this movie...I think FOX's intentions are clear :down

[The Guard]

So, X-MEN: ORIGINS: WOLVERINE 2: WOLVERINE'S REVENGE?

It could work as well as anything, if it's done well, which WOLVERINE wasn't. We'll see. I'll take a good WOLVERINE 2 and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS movie, sure.

[sniktsnakt]

Or lack of intentions, rather. They didn't intend to ruin Wolverine's solo film. I really hope not, anyway (though at this point I don't think I'd really be surprised).

Still, I'm hopeful. Usually superhero movies 1-2 for characters are good, 3-4 are completely awful . . . . is there any time when we've got to #5?

SM4 will change things with its awesomeness in 2011, mark it down!!! :up:

We may have not gotten to 5 yet...but given how the series continues to go down, I'd hate to see what a 5th film looks like :csad:

[Chewy]

i can't wait for the pointless Sunfire cameo where he and Wolverine wrestle

[Spider-ManHero12]

Cool! Can't wait to finally see the japanese story on film. :up:

[AnorexicBatman]

How about X-Men Legends: Wolverine? :cwink:
Since it's not really an origin...

[Chewy]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Part 2: Rise of the Silver Samurai

I don't think they intend to ruin the characters. However, their intentions are clearly not making a film that elevates the quality of the franchise or genre. All they want to do is make by the numbers films to cash in on the market. When X1 and X2 were made, there wasn't as much of a comic movie market yet, so there was nothing to cash in on yet. It was still developing. Now the market is established, they're putting out whatever generic films they can to cash in.

That's their intention.

[MrWayne]

maybe they will include SHIVA chasing wolverine down.. that would be cool..

[sniktsnakt]

Money-grubbers . . . . What happened to the day of art and care of quality? It's not with Fox anymore, that's for sure.

:down

[night0205]

2011 is going to be a big year for Marvel. I wonder when they plan to release Wolverine 2...probably 2012.

[Spider-Fan]

Just for the record, I have NO problem with a studio wanting to make money. None at all. However, I don't like FOX's approach as their quest for money has sacrificed quality to a far greater extent than any other studio. Sure, Sony, WB, etc are guilty of it too, but FOX's films seem to suffer the most.

[Chewy]

2011 is going to be a big year for Marvel. I wonder when they plan to release Wolverine 2...probably 2012.
2000, 2003, 2006, 2009

I'd say 2012 is a good bet.

[night0205]

And take into fact that it's not necessarily Fox who's pushing to make this film...but Jackman and his production company. But Fox cares about money, so if they make money, they are on board. The downside is Fox has them run by their rules.

[Spider-Fan]

2000, 2003, 2006, 2009

I'd say 2012 is a good bet.

Why is there no Spider-Man 4 in your sig :cmad:

But 2012 is probably a good bet IF it happens...though going up likely against BB3 that summer...not good for them. They'll get owned.

[sniktsnakt]

2000, 2003, 2006, 2009

I'd say 2012 is a good bet.

Just in time for the end of the world. :o

[Chewy]

Just in time for the end of the world. :o
This movie will be the end of the world
Why is there no Spider-Man 4 in your sig :cmad:
If Uncle Ben doesn't have another new killer this time around I may put it in :o

[Spider-Fan]

This movie will be the end of the world

If Uncle Ben doesn't have another new killer this time around I may put it in :o

SM4 is going be awesome...I can feel it :up:

Now sig it! That's not a request, that's a demand! :cmad:

[rogue trooper]

^Ditto.

Screw this solo crap, just put him back in the X-Men already.

We already have 3 X-Men films. It's time for Wolverine now.:wolverine Bring on the sequel, and, after the fan reaction of Origins, hopefully Fox will give Gavin Hood complete creative control on the sequel, just as Sony is giving Sam Raimi complete control on Spider-Man 4.

[Chewy]

SM4 is going be awesome...I can feel it :up:

Now sig it! That's not a request, that's a demand! :cmad:
What color would I use? Red and blue are already taken :cmad:

Maybe after IM2 comes out and some space frees up I'll add SM4 :oldrazz:

[Spider-Fan]

What color would I use? Red and blue are already taken :cmad:

Maybe after IM2 comes out and some space frees up I'll add SM4 :oldrazz:

It would be in the middle, so you could do Spider in red and Man 4 in blue...which is cool since IM2 is in red and closer to Spider and Cap is in blue and closer to Man 4 :up:

Or purple. Red + Blue = purple!

[night0205]

I must admit the problems with Wolverine really had nothin to do with the director. Gavin Hood did an amazing job with what he had. An already written script, cast...all he had power over was the direction.

[Timstuff]

It's never too soon to plan your second offense, I suppose.

[rogue trooper]

Atleast give him the costume and mask in the sequel.


I've been thinking that maybe the costume could be incorporated into the sequel by somehow have it be derived of a samurai wardrobe.

[night0205]

Dude he's not getting yellow spandex...especially in Japan.

[Spider-Fan]

So, samurai wore yellow spandex :huh:

[Deaths Head II]

His Samurai armor could be stylized like his costume somewhat, but I doubt they'll even bother to do that.

[rogue trooper]

Dude he's not getting yellow spandex...especially in Japan.

Hey, hey,hey...hey,hey,hey!! Who said anything about yellow spandex?!:huh: How about what he wears in X-Force? Ofcourse they would take certain liberties to make it look more realistic.

[night0205]

The only way he would wear a costume is if he was apart of a team. So, technically it could happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[Schlosser85]

Just got back from my second viewing, which confirmed my earlier opinion that 99% of the good moments in Wolverine involved Liev Schreiber...who probably won't be in the next one in Japan...

[rogue trooper]

night0205:....also, I wouldn't suggest he'd wear it throughout the whole film, just on a particular action scene.

[Obi-Ron]

Money-grubbers . . . . What happened to the day of art and care of quality? It's not with Fox anymore, that's for sure.

:down

What day was that? I missed it.

[night0205]

Liev should be in the Sequal PERIOD!

[rogue trooper]

Liev should be in the Sequal PERIOD!


...he could be in it, but he should have no scenes with Logan. Logan would not meet Sabretooth until he first meets Rogue.

[Deaths Head II]

Liev really can't be in it, unless they wipe Logan's memory a second time...

[logan_weapon_x]

Liev really can't be in it, unless they wipe Logan's memory a second time...

Which could cause issues considering they're meant to have a long running fued.

[sniktsnakt]

I don't care about continuity. Just make it good.

[night0205]

I want to learn about Lady Deathstrike! I want more Sabretooth! So...who knows what will happen, because logan doesn't remember either of them in the movies.

[logan_weapon_x]

I would quite like to see Omega Red but not necessarily in Japan!?

[Retroman]

Which could cause issues considering they're meant to have a long running fued.
Just get them a chair on Oprah. Problem solved.:o

I don't mind a sequel as long they can come up with a great story and they can get a good director who can deal with studio politics. But I'd prefer they took their time and focus on making Magneto/First Class and X4 (one can dream) great movies before tackling this.
Make him more aggressive in the sequel, and chalk it up to the memory loss, and i'm all for the sequel.

I guess we could possibly get Kelly Hu back as Deathstrike. :up: If they do use Deathstrike, i hope she isn't played by a different actress.

That would be great and she's still signed for another movie too so no hassle there in terms of negotiations.

[Dugath]

Anyone see that South Park episode involving the Raping of Indiana Jones?

Well.. as soon as I read "Wolverine 2" All I could picture was a giant FOX symbol raping X-Men

But you knew it would happen if Wolverine made any sort of money, and you knew it would even if it was a bad movie. X3 made lots of cash but everyone knows that was a horrible movie.

sigh.

Why can't Marvel Sue Fox for the right back on the grounds the are f'ing the hell out of it.

[Golgo-13]

I'd also like to see Liev's Victor/Sabertooth in the sequel. Make him more feral and lengthen his hair- explain somewhere in the movie that the older Victor gets the more animal-like he becomes-thus tying him to how he eventually looks/acts in X1.

[Nathan]

I say bring Singer back or I won't care. He's like one of the few people that can still pull off a decent movie, even with Fox's meddling.

[Golgo-13]

Liev really can't be in it, unless they wipe Logan's memory a second time...

Damn, i never thought about that, although there's no indication that Wolverine had never come across Sabertooth in X1. He smells him in the snow, and his claws came out. He knew something was up. Xavier tells Logan "the man who attack you, is called Sabertooth". Logan acted like he had never heard the name before-but that could be chalked up to the fact that maybe he hadn't; as all this time Victor had just be known as 'Victor' to him and not Sabertooth.

[Golgo-13]

get Maggie Q for DeathStrike then

Now that i'd go for. I still think Kelly Hu could still come back, but i wouldn't be mad at all if Maggie Q was her replacement.

[Doctor Jones]

How much do you want to be Deathstrike will be in this film? Just another character shoveed in probably.

[Balthus Dire]

How much do you want to be Deathstrike will be in this film? Just another character shoveed in probably.

Hopefully she'll be a main character and his love interest, because that would make the scene in X2 where Wolvie kills her and she seems to recognize him for a split second so much more tragic.

[Deaths Head II]

How does Wolverine not recognize her though?

Please god, no more Adamantium Bullets...

[Balthus Dire]

How does Wolverine not recognize her though?

Please god, no more Adamantium Bullets...


Oh yeah. Well ****.

[Spoonz]

Enough Wolverine! Seriously!

[Humphrey Bogart]

Not too stoked, I'd much prefer X-Men: First Class, and then leave the franchise be.

Quality over quantity, folks.

Sorry, that battle has already been lost.:csad:

[Hound89]

Silver samurai, Gorgon, & Omega red are all i want for villains in the next one

[rogue trooper]

...what about Rough House and Bloodscream?

[Punisher RULES]

Any big deal X-Men villains would be just fine. Gun to my head though? I'd go with a Silver Samurai/Omega Red/cameos galore Wolverine flick.

[squeekness]

Damn, i never thought about that, although there's no indication that Wolverine had never come across Sabertooth in X1. He smells him in the snow, and his claws came out. He knew something was up. Xavier tells Logan "the man who attack you, is called Sabertooth". Logan acted like he had never heard the name before-but that could be chalked up to the fact that maybe he hadn't; as all this time Victor had just be known as 'Victor' to him and not Sabertooth.He could have recognized the scent enough to know it meant trouble, but not the exact person it belonged to. Scent is a powerful link to memory. :)

...what about Rough House and Bloodscream?Bloodscream was cool. :p

[chaseter]

Alright folks, lets wipe the frowns off of our faces to start getting excited for another let down in 3 years:up:

[Project862006]

i don't know the story but will it be the last samurai with claws?

i like that movie but just wondering

[Spider-Fan]

I think I'm going to need an adamantium bullet if this gets made :o

[Figs]

i don't know the story but will it be the last samurai with claws?

i like that movie but just wondering

Sort of. The thing is though this won't have the quality that The Last Samurai had.

[RonStoppablefan]

Hopefully she'll be a main character and his love interest, because that would make the scene in X2 where Wolvie kills her and she seems to recognize him for a split second so much more tragic.

Hey now that'd be nice. It'd explaine a lot, yah. Hmm If they bring back any of the other characters I don't know how they'd be able to. I mean Sabertooth I can see, that's the only one and well maybe DeadPool. For villains I hope they have Omega Red he was one of my favorites. I'm excited for this film and can't wait to hear more news on this.

[CelticPredator]

I always thought that Deathstrike felt a shock, and relief to the fact that she was just killed...I mean, she didnt want to do it....and when she realized she was dying....she sorta looked at him like "Thanks....*sink*"

Bryan thinks that she was just some house wife Stryker just took....which sorta makes the whole character more tragic and disturbing.

[topdog1]

Since this easily fulfilled and then exceeded all my expectations, I can't wait for more Wolverine solo films (Japan up next) and then X-Men First Class.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hopefully she'll be a main character and his love interest, because that would make the scene in X2 where Wolvie kills her and she seems to recognize him for a split second so much more tragic. Indeed, my god, that would work greatly.

[Spider-Fan]

It wouldn't make sense. Why then doesn't she or he acknowledge they know each other during the fight then? This would occur post mindwipe, so Logan would remember. It makes no sense to include Yuriko and only complicates the timeline.

Less is often more :up:

[Spade]

I think they stopped caring about "what makes sense" some time ago.

[C. Lee]

She was under the influence of Stryker's mind control formula....he could very easily have his mind wiped yet again....there are plenty of mutants out there with that kind of ability.

[Project862006]

she wont acknowledge it because she is pretty much a zombie due to stryker's injection to her neck Logan i don't know lol

[Spider-Fan]

She was under the influence of Stryker's mind control formula....he could very easily have his mind wiped yet again....there are plenty of mutants out there with that kind of ability.

It's stupid to have him undergo a second mindwipe. First time serves a purpose. Subsequent mindwipes are just more deus ex machina.

Do we really need Yuriko in a Wolverine movie anyway? There's enough material for a Japan film without her. She served her purpose in X2. I see no reason to include her. I think shoving cameos and characters into a story unneccessarily is only an excuse for poor writing and detracts from the main story. This was a problem for the Star Wars prequels, Wolverine, X3, etc.

Less is often more. Keep the character count down, improve the story, put only characters whom fit in the story in, and the sequel may actually turn out good. Unfortunately, I don't see this happening.

[C. Lee]

I see no problem with multiple mind wipes.

[bullets]

I think I'm going to need an adamantium bullet if this gets made :o



I'll shoot you in the memories.

[bullets]

I see no problem with multiple mind wipes.


It would open the door to alot of possibilites . Maybe they could mindwipe Sabretooth.

[Spider-Fan]

I see no problem with multiple mind wipes.

It seems like a cop out to me, and really unneccessary just to include a character they didn't need to include. Are his memories going to be wiped every movie, especially at conveniant moments to keep the "continuity" in tact? When you force characters and need to do things like this, you're only inviting more bad writing elsewhere in the script. I don't want to see more forced cameos or characters in future films. It never works well.

[Project862006]

she is not like gambit or blob when it comes to logans past tho

OR.....continued mind wipes really screws with him until he winds up in the backwoods of Canada cage fighting people for beer money.

[Spider-Fan]

OR.....continued mind wipes really screws with him until he winds up in the backwoods of Canada cage fighting people for beer money.

But he doesn't remember having it wiped, so how do multiple ones screw with him? He'd only really acknowledge 1 anyway. I just don't see where having his memory erased again is a good idea. I think it has more potential drawbacks than pluses.

[C. Lee]

Well....in the previous movies, he kept getting flashes of memories that confused and upset him.....depending on how many times and how well each time it is wiped....all kinds of memory flashes over the years that get him into different situations.

Origins show him being from Canada....after years of fighting he has enough and goes back there....his mind is wiped...but years later shows back up in Canada in X1.....there is an unconscious connection there....he keeps being drawn back to Canada....and if you keep going back some place, some one will recognize you and say something like "Hey, you're that guy that tore up our town 5 years ago"....but if his mind has been wiped, he won't remember it....which screws with his mind.

But he already doesn't remember it. If he did have it removed more than once, he wouldn't know that. He doesn't even remember the first one. Yes it messes with his mind in a way, but so does just having it done once. What more is being added with a 2nd mind wipe? Nothing we already don't have.

I feel it has more dramatic impact if it is a one time occurrence. If you keep doing it, they lose impact and become plot devices.

[C. Lee]

Not if something keeps drawing him back to a special place in Canada...he leaves a journal....and every now and then winds up back there, finds it, and sees that he has had his mind wiped in the past.

[Deaths Head II]

While I don't want to have constant memory wipes, I do think giving Deathstrike a history would be a good thing. They did with Creed in the Origins, so it only feels right they do it with Deathstrike, Wolverine's other adversary in the comics that was reduced to a silent henchperson.

If they don't find a better explanation for his memory being wiped again then the goddamn adamantium bullet then they shouldn't even bother though.

[Spider-Fan]

I think we have enough reason for him to be drawn subconsciously to Canada already. Trying to make another mindwipe work is just convoluted and unneccessary. I just don't see any bonuses to trying it. I think it would turn out more as a cliche in practice than it would a dramatic moment. I think if he loses something in Japan, and remembers it...that works better. We can't have Logan forget all his misery. His blank past should be a cause for misery, but we can't just keep making him a blank slate. Adds no additional drama.

[bullets]

If he does get mind wiped i'd like to see the ending not feel rushed like it did in this one.

[squeekness]

LOL, I'd love for the whole movie to not feel rushed like this one. :p

[rogue trooper]

It would be cool to see Cyber in future films, if not in the next film.

[Project862006]

picked up wolverine by miller&claremont good stuff but i have no idea who you would cast for Yukio lol

[sniktsnakt]

How d'ya reckon they'd do all the Japanese? Have the whole movie in English captions?

[Balthus Dire]

Hey maybe he can get mind wiped after every scene!! It can be a running gag.

[Adrian89]

people who have been members for years and only have a couple hundred posts, are they studio plants?

5 years. Only a hundred and something posts and a new Wolverine movie is important enough for one of your rare posts? I don't know what or who you are but that does seem kinda weird
Are you one of those paranoic nerds? Why do you care anyway? Get a life instead, Wise@$$.:)

On Topic: No Wolverine 2 please! The first didn't sucked or anything, but it's enough. No need for a sequel.

[squeekness]

Nuthin' wrong with sequels so long as they have good stories and not just made fer monies. :(

[CelticPredator]

It's Fox....:hehe:

[thegameq]

You know, I definitely don't want to see another wolverine film. But I have come to realize that if this is what it's going to take for Marvel to eventually get control of the X-franchise back, so be it.

Let Fox milk the franchise and it's characters for all their worth. Let them run this franchise into the ground with mediocre spin-offs (cash-ins) until it hurts their bottom line.

The best bet to see a real X-men movie(s) is for the current iteration to die a slow and expensive death. I believe Fox will try to milk four more movies out of the X-franchise--each one will be progressively worse than the last. Hugh will complain about the criticism and leave the franchise. Fox will either begin to lose money or garner such severe criticism for the films that they will sell the property back to Marvel or attempt a quick reboot in a last ditch effort to restablish the franchise and hold on to the property.

If they sell it back to Marvel, look for them to try and cut a distribution deal ala Paramount and Universal. Fox really doesn't have an uber franchise to call their own, so they will do their best to stay close to this franchise if it comes to that.

It's just so damn unfortunate that one of the greatest comicbooks of all is being treated so poorly when other comicbooks are getting great treatments.

Keep up the outstanding work Fox, your right on track.

<dreamy smile>

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I see no problem with multiple mind wipes.

Me neither.

It would open the door to alot of possibilites . Maybe they could mindwipe Sabretooth.

Sabretooth needs to get a mutant enhancer and mindwipe at some point, just to link him into X1.

OR.....continued mind wipes really screws with him until he winds up in the backwoods of Canada cage fighting people for beer money.

Exactly, you could even have Logan get his memory back in Wolvie 2, only to have it erased again at the end. At the end Stryker could capture Yuriko and Logan, mindwipe them both, but Logan manages to escape and Stryker freezes Yuriko, with plans for her to be weapon 12.

While I don't want to have constant memory wipes, I do think giving Deathstrike a history would be a good thing. They did with Creed in the Origins, so it only feels right they do it with Deathstrike, Wolverine's other adversary in the comics that was reduced to a silent henchperson.

If they don't find a better explanation for his memory being wiped again then the goddamn adamantium bullet then they shouldn't even bother though.


Agreed, Deathstryke definately needs some backstory now, they should do what I suggested above at the end of the movie, or something similar, and they should SCIENTIFICALLY erase his memory, along with Yuriko's.

[COAL TIGER]

All the other Marvel characters that could be getting a movie instead? :whatever::whatever::whatever::whatever::whatever: :whatever::whatever::whatever::whatever::whatever:

[Spade]

The "multiple mind wipe" idea is popcorn storytelling, unless the film's supposed to be a comedy. If they're going to make a sequel, they need to avoid rendering the plot pointless like that. This is their opportunity to get some things right. Repeating plot devices that made the first movie predictable is not the way to go.

[Jacky]

Same here, I'll be looking forward to this production (if it's going to happen at all).

[Changeling]

I really am looking forward to it too. So well have Wolvie 2, Deadpool, and XMen First Class? Thatll be great

Lets not forget Fox has now turned these movies into popcorn movies, the first 2 werent, they had depth, development and story to them, but the last 2 have been pure popcorn, and I dont see Fox wanting anything else from Wolverine 2. I also dont see a problem with at least one more mindwipe in these movies, if anything, it'll show how ****ed up Wolverine is as a person.

[thegameq]

I just hope it reboots before I'm, say, 85 or something. I want to be able to see the screen when I go to the midnight showing of Marvel's reboot.

<dreamy smile>

I feel you. I'd really like to see the X-men given the big sfx extravaganza, fantasy-scifi, comicbook movie treatment before I die. X-men is so much more than the overly conservative approach we got.

[Project862006]

what we got was substance over style in first 2 cant complain but i can understand your points

[Red Mask]

Hopefully she'll be a main character and his love interest, because that would make the scene in X2 where Wolvie kills her and she seems to recognize him for a split second so much more tragic.

Or maybe they can hint that Logan's her father in the next film. If they have enough back story of Japan, they can bring back Kelly Hu to play Yuriko's own mother.

[Red Mask]

Cool! Can't wait to finally see the japanese story on film. :up:

Me too. Maybe they can even introduce the ancestor of Professor Xavier (to bring back Patrick Stewart) and Nathaniel Essex/Mr. Sinister. I'm thinking Damien Lewis could play a good Nathaniel Essex. And it would be ironic if Xavier's ancestor was the one who got Logan into the smoking habit.

[PSINGRAPHD]

I feel you. I'd really like to see the X-men given the big sfx extravaganza, fantasy-scifi, comicbook movie treatment before I die. X-men is so much more than the overly conservative approach we got.

Me too!!!!!!! I would LOVE to see what J.J. Abrams', Chris Nolan's, or Peter Jackson's vision would be! They could really do these charcters and their stories justice! Any one of them! As far as I'm concerned, the X-Men are one of(if not THEE{<sp, I know} for me) the best fictional casts ever created!

[Golgo-13]

How about a Wolverine sequel that takes place AFTER X3?

I was looking at the youtube vid of the game of the scene in the future where Wolverine escapes from the shackles is badass. It looks like a few hundred years in the future. It would be an interesting direction to take the franchise. It would alleviate further continuity problems that this first one created for the other 3 X Men movies..and maybe somehow, they could incorporate the time traveling mutant Cable into it, somewhere....

[X-Maniac]

I say no to another mindwipe. It's been done once, the audience and the critics will hate it. It will seem tired, lame and unoriginal. Everyone will think the writing really has gone down the crapper if they just do another mindwipe in the next movie. Sorry but this talk has to stop folks, it's a terrible idea!

That means he can't meet people he later doesn't remember - Sabretooth and Deathstrike. So just don't use those characters. Simple.

There are tons of other characters. Silver Samurai. Omega Red. The Hand. And so on.

Please, please, please. No more memory loss stuff.

[chaseter]

I agree with X!!!

[Spider-Vader]

Is this movie going to be produced by Marvel Studios like Deadpool & Magneto supposedly are. It'd be the Wolverine movie we deserve.

[Project862006]

sorry but Nolan's x men would be just like singer's with a very realistic approach

[PSINGRAPHD]

sorry but Nolan's x men would be just like singer's with a very realistic approach

Yes, but I believe Nolan's vision would be far more epic in scope than Singer's. He would also have a lot more free reign than Bryan did back in the day, now that the X-Men are a proven success. You're right though, it's almost assured that Abrams and Jackson would take a much more science-fantasy type of approach, whereas I'm sure Nolan would try to keep it grounded in actual science-fiction. It would kind of be a philosophical versus metaphorical take, with each commenting on human nature and the society we live in, just from different perspectives. All of these guys would inject complex cerebral elements, like Singer, only they would take it to a whole new level.

[Superhero 101]

I think it would be cool to see Wolverine go up against Omega Red Silver Samurai and the Hand

[Golgo-13]

Give Omega Red the tendrils like they used as the whip weapon in the Underworld series.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Omega Red would get a big yes from me, been dying to see him in the movies for quite some time. While I liked Magneto it was nice to get some other bad guys in XMO, hopefully they keep that trend going for Wolverine 2.

I can't believe Jackman said in an interview that he himself thought that Wolverine had gotten soft by X3, and that he wanted to take the character back to how he was in X1. :whatever:

I can't believe Jackman said in an interview that he himself thought that Wolverine had gotten soft by X3, and that he wanted to take the character back to how he was in X1. :whatever:i actually remember an interview where he said that he got a little soft in x3 and that he is more rough in this one. more then in all movies.

a 100% lie from him. i understand that he makes a movie like that because of the paycheck. but that he becomes like FOX and lies to promote hes movie?

pathetic :o

[Golgo-13]

I actually saw the interview i'm referring to yesterday on youtube. Ater hearing him say that, i wonder if that's what he was actually trying to do (make Wolverine more tough) but Fox, and post-editing cut and edited to where he doesn't come off so aggressive..? It's a long shot call i know, but i've heard alot of actors say that when they shoot a movie and then see the final product, the final cut can be vastly different from how they thought it would be. Jackman claims that that's the reason why he wanted to be a producer on XOW, so he could 'make sure' Wolverine get's back to the badass he was in X1 and X2...if this is the end results of Jackman producing..i say he should stick to acting.

Let's not forget that he also lied along with Fox about the leaked print saying it's not the same movie, so.....

[icelemt38]

Not quite actually, he never said the movie was different, he just used the "Fararri without a paint job" reference. And that is true in that the SFX weren't completed, he never ever said that the final movie was longer or anything like that.

He did lie. He/they claimed there were other scenes which would mean a longer movie unless somethings from the work print were taken out. They lied to save face.

[Celestial]

The comments about the extra scenes came from Tom Rothman and possibly John Palermo, not Hugh.

[danoyse]

And while they never should have stated the movie was missing 10 minutes when it didn't...I do think it's a little ironic that people who had no problem watching a stolen version of a film need to cry about things being unfair. :whatever:

[katie_girl09]

Cool.
But if Gambit (or some other mutant that I care about) isn't in it, I'm not going to see it in theatres. I'm sick of Wolverine.

[Andreth]

same here, I'm not gonna bother to watch it unless Gambit is in the movie.
I'm starting to really hate wolvie.

[Project862006]

this is the film singer should take a go at atleast it would be darker lol

[danoyse]

According to an interview in Entertainment Weekly, Taylor Kitsch is signed on for 2 more Wolverine movies. I hope he's back in a sequel too.

[maninthechair]

people who have been members for years and only have a couple hundred posts, are they studio plants?


LOL I wish I was getting paid to read the internet

[Dog Logan]

I'm hoping for Wolverine 2 we get to see him up against someone like Omega Red. What I'd really want to see is Wolverine versus the Hulk but the chances of that happening are very slim.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/LegolasAzazel/Wolverine2Poster.png Wow, really cool! Nice job. :up:

[Dog Logan]

From what I've heard a Wolverine in Japan story wouldn't be able to last an entire movie.

[topdog1]

GREAT poster TheVelvetOnion!

Wolverine 2 = Japan

Wolverine 3 = Old Man Logan
Hugh's age will work in his favor and I absolutely have loved that story.

Wolverine movie su**cks a lot no necessary Wolverine 2

[VenomVsSpidey]

Wolverine movie su**cks a lot no necessary Wolverine 2


hmm..opinion.

[CelticPredator]

Indeed.

[Fresh Prince]

Jeez they making a sequel to this? Why!

[FaT_tONle]

I don't think it will happen personally. I think they will try to focus on other spinoffs and Jackman will move on.

[Fresh Prince]

I got a question is the X-Men First Class a reboot or prequel? And when is it suppose to come out?

[FaT_tONle]

Who knows... most likely a prequel. Release date is anyone's guess.

[Fresh Prince]

Okay a prequel good i do not want a remakeu ntil marvel gets the rights back.

[danoyse]

I can still see a sequel happening with this film. But I do hope they go forward with either First Class or one of the other spinoffs and focus on some of the other characters for awhile before we see a Wolverine sequel.

Hugh's doing a play on Broadway this fall (which narrows101 and I both have tickets for :woot: ), and I believe he's doing another film right after that, so it will be awhile before he plays Wolverine again. It sounds like there's plenty of time to work on the other films.

[dennisv]

What's everyone's thought about a live action Wolverine television series instead, say like 12 episodes? The first season could be based off only from the book, Origin. If does well, the 2nd season will be all the wars and **** he had gone through pre-Weapon X and the final episode of season 2 would be when he goes into Weapon X. Leaves us hanging for season 3. :cwink:
