Will be directed by Darren Aronofsky!
As some of you maybe not happy if Wolverine not featured in new X-Men: First Class...
there will be new film out in 2012, The film will be based around Wolverine's exploits in Japan and will be modeled after Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's 1982 limited series on the character. It is not stated to be a sequel, but rather a separate story from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Aronofsky announced the title and went on to say that it won't have a number attached. Even more intriguingly, he's treating it as a one-off, and not necessarily a direct sequel to Wolverine itself.
Which, provided Fox gives him the freedom, means that Aronofsky will be able to experiment with the film and make it stylistically different from the rest of the X-Men universe. No doubt that's part of why the director agreed to make it in the first place. It also makes us hopeful that Christopher McQuarrie's script strikes out in some interesting directions.
Afonofsky's already maintaining part of his regular filmmaking team, with regular cinematography collaborator Matthew Libatique (who has superhero form, having worked on both Iron Man outings) on board. And given his own take on filmmaking and the critical/festival success he's already enjoying with Black Swan, claws crossed Aronofsky actually gets his way as Logan heads to Japan...
