Re: Wolverine 2

I know, but just as a nod to the original story

Re: Wolverine 2

I dunno, they could work it in as some kind of Samurai armor or something, but who knows with FOX

Re: Wolverine 2

This is Based on the story by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Frank Miller right?

That was my understanding. I know Claremont and Miller were involved in the first mini-series run in 1982, but it was revived in 1988 (minus Miller) and carried out for a decade plus.

This is still a prequel to the movies....so why would he have a suit?

Even in the original '82 run though, he had the suit. He didn't wear it on every page of course, but I remember reading those issues and seeing it. I don't think there's a need for it a though, IMO. Much of the storyline, he's in jeans and a jacket. I could live without it. Plus, it'll just spark WAY too much controversy amongst the comic book community, I'm sure.

I'm hoping he wears a big, ol' belt buckle of a Wolverine with ruby eyes....so you know....THIS is Wolverine.

That's something I could see Fox pull.

This is true.

Well...since it is Halloween, I thought I'd resurrect this thread with some new info.

James Mangold on His Plans for The Wolverine​

His The Wolverine set to go before cameras next year, director JamesMangold spoke with The Playlist about his plans for the sequel to the 2009 box office hit X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

"It's a kind of adventure following such a unique character also in a really unique environment," he says of his reasons for taking the job. "I mean, the fact that half of the characters in this movie speak Japanese, this is like a foreign-language superhero movie that's as much a drama and a detective story and a film noir, with high-octane action as it is anything like a conventional tentpole film."

Mangold also explains that he's discussed the project with the formerly-attached Darren Aronofsky and that, while the film still features Christopher McQuarrie's screenplay, he and Mark Bomback have gone through and rewritten the entire thing, comparing the version he plans to make to classics like The Outlaw Josey Wales and Chinatown.

"[It's] much more about Logan getting lost in this very unique and insulated world of Japanese culture, gangster culture, and ninja culture," he explains. "The fighting is going to be unique because it's all influenced by Japanese martial arts... I think more than anything, it's a character piece, asking really interesting questions that are what pulled me in about what it means to be immortal. What is it to live forever, when you lose everyone you've ever loved? Either you watch them get killed, or you just lose them by attrition. What is it to feel the burden of saving mankind through all of its mistakes, over and over and over again. What's the toll it takes on you as a living being that is somehow living this Frankensteinian, eternal life?"

Well said. I liked the first one despite the Deadpool fail. The opening sequence of the last one was great and the movie had some good parts. Jackman plays the character well and I hope they are able to get some more great storytelling done before he gets to old/unable to play the part.

Deadpool was a fail but other than that...I thought the movie was fun.

I really hope we get a great movie in this one!

Re: Wolverine 2

Yeah, the Deadpool fail sucked but the movie as a whole was quite enjoyable.

Re: Wolverine 2

plus, Jackman's Wolverine is perfect IMO, even if he's "too tall"
