Acteur Hugh Jackman liet in een gesprek met website Comingsoon weten dat het script voor de Wolverine-film inmiddels klaar is, ook al gaan de opnames pas over een jaar van start. De film wordt een prequel en gaat dus in op het verleden van het populaire X-Men personage.
"We've now signed off on the script. If you know about the history of 'X-Men' movies, that's a revolution for us. We're a year away from shooting the film and we have the script. And, by the way, it is unbelievable. It's a David Benioff script. He's probably the hottest writer going around town, and he was beating down our door to write this movie. It was the most amazing thing. So, we have this fantastic script. I've got a couple of movies coming out in the next month, and I might be able to tell you who the director is by then. We're seriously into talking about it now."
