Why should he get the Focus over jean?
Ang Lee isn't going to be allowed to direct another comicbook movie ever again...atleast not a big budget mainstream one.
Only if its truly Japan focused, bringing things full circle to X-Men, and actually go further into detail on Logan's character (feral rage, etc.).
I think he seriously redeemed himself since, with the Oscar and all. Also, since it would be set in the Far East and deals with an inherently complex character like Wolverine, I totally think it would work.
