There is now a name for director Darren Aronofsky’s early-in-development Wolverine sequel — “The Wolverine.” Nice and simple, and yep, definite article, a la The Goddamn Batman.
According to a report on HitFix, the film won’t be a “sequel in any conventional sense,” which might be a wise move given the middling reviews for 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which was a financial success anyway). Wolverine’s certainly a character with a broad enough history — he’s in about 36 comics at the moment, you might have heard — that a self-contained, continuity light feature would seem to work rather well.
Last month, big-screen Wolvie Hugh Jackman expressed optimism that the new movie will actually be, y’know, good: “This is, hopefully for me, going to be out of the box. It’s going to be the best one, I hope,” he said, and then paused. ‘Well, I would say that, but I really do feel that, and I feel this is going to be very different.’”

Looks more to me like they totally gave up on naming the thing.

I know it’s all about licensing rights, and that it would never happen… but at this point the best thing for Wolverine would be to work him into the Cap, Iron Man, and Thor lineup. Put him in Cap as a cameo like he should, then give him his own standalone movie based in that world. Also, recast him. Jackman has done a decent job, but he’s too recognizable with the previous movies. Get a 5′ (ish) runt like he’s supposed to be and introduce him into the existing Avenger’s universe. Fury hiring Logan to bring in the Hulk after the rest of the boys failed? Priceless.

Marvel doesnt have the movie rights too any of the Xmen tho right?
for in house production anyway.

Right, Trev.
Sony still has the movie rights to the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man.
They won’t let money like that go without a sizable payout, and I doubt Disney would give it to them unless they can get a good return on the investment.

actually Fox owns the rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four.

I thought the last movie was awful. It really jumped the shark by including Emma Frost (with the wrong accent) and all those stupid cameos

I can not believe the quantity of top quality content that exist on this web site. The website is rather appealing as well as brings the reader instantly in, the content usually are terrific quality and are extremely professionally written. I have noticed too many of these web sites where it would appear that they pay an 8-10 year old to undertake the writing – Not this one. Your site is definitely the top that i have witnessed in a longer while.

I know I’m in the minority on these sites, but I enjoyed the 1st. Yes, it made a lot of changes from the comic book, but so has every other comicbook movie. Hell, Blade originally wasn’t even half vampire in the comics. (Back on topic) the story they told was interesting, the acting and special effects were good. So all in all, I liked it. My only real complaints were pretty much no blood (a guy who’s main calling is stabbing people with his claws should be bloody)and the adamantium bullet should not have been able to penatrate his skull (adamantium can’t cut adamantium in the comics).
For the second movie, I would love it to be R. But even if it isn’t I’ll happily watch it.

I just can’t muster the enthusiasm for Marvel these days. In my experience, when a property gets that much over-hype, it’s going to be bad. Monumentally bad. Bury-the-original-&-all-copies-in-a-secret-landfill bad.

You had me at Hugh Jackman.
