EXCLUSIVE: Twentieth Century Fox has begun negotiations with James Mangold to return for another installment of The Wolverine, with Hugh Jackman bringing back his signature character with the razor sharp adamantium hooks. This comes after The Wolverine played very strongly overseas, enough to now sit as the second highest grossing X-Men film of all time. The film has grossed $413 million worldwide, with $132 million domestic and $280 million in international revenue.

[Dot50Cal]

Wow, I'm surprised it did so well overseas. It was an OK film imo, hopefully they can do better this time around. I love the character and the universe (and I have a secret man crush on Hugh Jackman).

 

[Mr.Swag]

So I guess Jackmans gonna be wolverine forever then?

 

[Eiolon]

Welp, I guess that means he won't die in Day of Future Past.

 

[Dot50Cal]

So I guess Jackmans gonna be wolverine forever then?

I remember watching a video where he said his son loves the fact that hes Wolverine, so I'd guess he enjoys doing it for his kid

 

[sixteen-bit]

Welp, I guess that means he won't die in Day of Future Past.

Are they all part of the same continuity?

 

[glaurung]

This is great news, I think. Whereas the new Wolverine movie earlier this year had a bit of a pointless last chapter, most of it was well above average.

I wonder where they'd take Logan now that they've done the obligatory Japan episode.

 

[sirap]

So I guess Jackmans gonna be wolverine forever then?

Can you even imagine anyone else playing him though? I thought he was iffy in Xmen 1, but as he got older he really grew into the role. Now I'm even reading his comic lines in Hugh Jackman's voice.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Welp, I guess that means he won't die in Day of Future Past.

Wolverine can't die bruh.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Can we get a new Wolverine, please?

 

[Black Door]

This last Wolverine movie was decent, even with the producers trying to stuff 10 years of comic plotline into a 90 minute film, and in spite of its PG-13 rating. I'd love to see what they'd do with a sequel

 

[Ridley327]

Hopefully, they can do another one-shot kind of story without going as crazy as The Wolverine does in its last act. The first two-thirds were really refreshing for how low-key and intimate it felt versus damn near every other superhero film.

 

[Blader]

Are they all part of the same continuity?

Yes, The Wolverine had a mid-credits scene teasing DOFP.

 

[params7]

I'm okay with this.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Wolverine v The Brood

 

[Screaming Meat]

I thought it was pretty good apart from the ending. It was like a Yakuza Noir starring Wolverine up until that point.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Im ok with this

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Are they all part of the same continuity?

The Wolverine led into Days of Future's Past. So I would assume so.

The Wolverine was the direct sequel to the Last Stand, but I can't see DoFP lead into Wolverine 2

Spoiler

(3?)

[Blablurn]

I don't mind it either.

 

[Jibbed]

Why can't I hold all these Wolverine films?!

 

[Trojita]

.

That's not douchebag Daken.

 

[hiro4]

.

How can Wolverine's son have Adamantium blades?
Adamantium sperm?

 

[BertramCooper]

God, these X-Men movies are never going to stop, are they?

 

[neorej]

Wolverine can't die bruh.

The only way to permanently disable Wolverine is by separating his head from his torso and making sure it stays that way.

But Wolverine is Fox' moneymachine, they're not gonna do this. Plus, Hugh Jackman is enjoying himself playing Logan, so expect a lot of Wolverine-presence the coming years.

 

[Can Crusher]

Pass, the last one wasn't any good.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Over/Under on the sequel taking place in the 2-year gap between the end of the film and the mid-credits stinger that leads to Days of Future Past? Maybe they can take on the Weapon X story again and finally add in Omega Red?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Chris Nolan needs to direct it.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Now all we need is for Wolverine to appear in The Avengers 2, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and a second series of X-Men films that take place at the same time as the current series and he'll be almost as over-exposed as he is in the comics.

 

[jmdajr]

Cool. Hugh is awesome.

 

[Altazor]

I'm OK with this, I liked The Wolverine (except for the shitty villains and rushed last act).

 

[Guzim]

Chris Nolan needs to direct it.

Jackman needs to be in another Nolan film though.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

The only good that came out of going to watch the last Wolverine, was learning that I don't ever need to watch anymore Wolverine movies.

 

[Triple Oceans]

Glad to hear though cautiously optimistic.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I'm OK with this, I liked The Wolverine (except for the shitty villains and rushed last act).

It was a better film when he was fighting random Yakuza thugs, the introduction of a mutant villain and

Spoiler

giant robot samurai

actually knocked things down a peg for me.

 

[glaurung]

If he is Logan's son, why does he have adamantium claws? Shouldn't he just have bone claws?

This does not make sense.

 

[Liha]

I'm okay with this.

.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I'm happy with this, I really liked The Wolverine until the third act.

EDIT: And I hope Mangold learns from that third act. It was bad.

 

[Lautaro]

I didn't like much the last Wolverine movie but I'm OK with Log- Jackman making a new one. He was born for that role.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Over/Under on the sequel taking place in the 2-year gap between the end of the film and the mid-credits stinger that leads to Days of Future Past? Maybe they can take on the Weapon X story again and finally add in Omega Red?

And Deadpool.

what the FUCK? it was "The Wolverine" thats a 4 issue mini that STARTED the characters solo line, what the hell did they shoe horn into the movie???

 

[Darkwaknight]

Yep good and expected, I was one of the many "overseas" viewers that made this a hit (UK).

And it was a good film, bar the ending which was...well stupid!!

Hugh Jackman makes a great wolverine

 

[Finaika]

YES!

 

[Team Filler]

Good. I really liked The Wolverine (apart from the third act that felt like a forced rewrite), and would like to see the two team up again.

Spoiler

I saw it three times in theaters. It's probably my favorite Marvel movie.

 

[SargerusBR]

Jackman's back? Good
Manigold's back? Not good

 

[Parch]

God, these X-Men movies are never going to stop, are they?

Comic book movies really sell. I'm kinda surprised the last Wolverine movie did that well. It doesn't have to be the major blockbusters to rake in the profits.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

Yes! More Jackman Wolverine please. He can do three more films and then hand the reigns over to Ben Affleck

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yes! More Jackman Wolverine please. He can do three more films and then hand the reigns over to Ben Affleck

If MoS sequels tank, Henry Cavill would be a good choice for a new Wolverine.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I had no clue people were clamoring for a new Wolverine (it's probably just gaf). He's like the only actor I'm 100% with having any role for life.

 

[thecouncil]

make him wear it this time.
