In a recent conversation with Super Hero Hype at CinemaCon, The X-Men and Wolverine actor talked about the status of The Wolverine and the absence of his friend Darren Aronofsky from the Director's chair.

"We need to find another director and once we've found that, we'll be able to know. It's too early to call on Japan, I'm not sure where they're at, so now we're finding another director, but Fox is very anxious to make the movie and we're moving ahead full steam to find another director."

The Wolverine is currently looking for a director.

ha ha...everyone hates movietheaterlad...he's not so bad...the guy likes to be optimistic...as far as this film goes...i have little faith unless they get someone who is a real auteur in film

Okay, Aronofsky is out, so can we PLEASE get rid of Jackman now? He sucks as Wolverine and always has. It sucks that to the general audience he is Wolverine, because long time Wolverine fans know he isn't even a close resemblance. Ditch the whole Wolverine project. Let Hugh Jackman go. Don't even [frick] with Wolverine anymore until there is a complete X-men reboot done right...with costumes and powers like in the comics only better.

I take it they're looking for a new director? Is that what he's saying?
