Hugh Jackman Will Begin Filming THE WOLVERINE In August

I'm so tired of Jackman's Wolverine. The X-universe is the one series I'd happily take a reboot with

I think Jackman would have made a great Punisher.

I've been waiting 25 years for this movie. It sounds like they are going straight from the first Wolverine limited series. It should be awesome!

Well I hope this time there filming More of a "Marvels The Wolverine" than a X-Men Borgins 2!!

Give it up Hugh, lets just get this over with, you played this charecter for 12 years and still havnt got it right.

they [frick]ed up my favorite character deadpool now this one is going to be in japan its gonna suck

I'm actually excited for this coz I'm a huge James Mangold fan.

dear god, if you really exist you will put a stop to this
amen!

Damn. This movie should not be made.

I wish fox would just lay it down, let the rights revert back to marvel, and let wolverine rest for 5 years.

I've never been a fan of hugh jackman's wolverine and we need someone new. It's not all his fault surely, he's been hampered by shitty writing and idiots for years now.

Somewhat related subject... I thought xmfc was good, but not all that great. By far the best parts were Xavier, magneto, and Kevin bacon. Everything else was throw away.

Yuriko best be in it.

im new please i need boobs!

First class is way overrated. None of the xmen movies have been that good so far and origins was a [frick]in tragedy so I'm hoping this one will be good.

I was really hoping this would fall through...

IM HAPPY....sorta.

Hugh has NEVER been the problem per se. Hes been great, he actually is dedicated to teh character...works his ass off and out for the character. BUT as PRODUCER now.. he s gotta bring the story.

This has gotta be the absolute best he can do to make up for some flaws in the last one.

Havocprime-

Lol at you because if fox keep making shitty CBMs that don't perform at the box office they could care less and let the properties go. The x men are not the avengers either btw.

Better invest to the story more. And give it the right dark attitude it deserves.
If you´re not gonna do those things its gonna be a fail... AGAIN!

I'm cautiously optomistic. I love Hugh Jackman but even so maybe he should hang it up after this one.

Am I excited? Hmm. Open-minded, interested, but wary. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and you can go [frick] yourselves.

Hugh Jackson probably meant that filming will start August 2088

@Owlman: Heh, funny. But to actually answer that seriously, nah - bootlegs are shit. For me it's the cinema and then buying the BluRay if it's really good, and if it's not it'll be case of "Not bothered, will give it a miss". :)

I still haven't seen Ghost Rider 2 for example. Not bothered. Have no interest in wasting time or money on a movie I probably won't enjoy. If I come across it in the meantime, I'll give it look, but not bothered if I never see it tbh. Same with Catwoman. Nothing I've ever read about it has ever tempted me even to try downloading it. Shit is shit and just being 'super/comicbook' is not enough. Once upon a time maybe, but shit's gotta be good nowadays or GTFO. Agreed?

You get that Studios? Bar's been raised bitches. We ain't your suckas no more! ;)

not impressed at all with the previous X-titles adaptation into the big screen and i ain't even interested anymore more so with this sequel.

perhaps all it needed is a deep overhaul!

i confirm @breakUbatman

I thought in order for fox to keep these characters they have to make a movie of each one in 3 to 4 years well shouldn't DD and FF be back with marvel by now a lot of time has past poor Xmen is the one trapped and as for that remark that The Xmen isn't the The Avengers the Xmen once dominated the comic book industry in sales it has the potential to surpass the Avengers if done right

I really hope this one is good, but maybe this should be Hugh's last outing with the claws, then maybe Fox should retcon First Class into a reboot for the series. They never specifically state Hugh plays Wolverine in First Class, it can easily be disguised as a cameo where he plays some random pissed off mutant as a reference to being Wolverine.

I would be more than happy to see X-Men go back to Marvel if their casting wasn't so damn fantastic (specifically in First Class although it was very good in X-Men 1 and 2 as well, plus Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth), if there was a way where Marvel could reaquire X-Men while retaining the key actors from First Class, such as McAvoy, Fassbender, Byrne, maybe Lawrence, etc, in their roles, and eventually progress the storyline to the modern era MCU, it'd be really special, because those actors really owned those roles (especially Fassbender as Magneto, one of my favourite CBM portrayals of all time and the reason I think Fassbender is brilliant).

But yeah, back to the point. I found Mangold's 3:10 To Yuma very enjoyable, it was dramatic, intense, exciting and intimate in all the right places and it really felt like I'd been transported back in time while watching it, so I'm hoping he works the same magic in The Wolverine and really makes me believe the setting as Japan in whatever time period they choose (unlike X-Men Origins; I wouldn't have guessed that was the late 70s if it weren't for the end battle on Three Mile Island).

Expectations are really low for this movie. Absolutely will not see it in theaters. I kinda hope fox's cbms keep performing poorly so theyd have incentive to just let them revert back to marvel. I know its gonna be a long time before marvel has all of the properties back but look at it this way, 4 years ago we got the first 2 avengers set up films in iron man and incredible hulk...4 years has gone by pretty quickly.
