Hugh Jackman to Sink Claws Again in Another 'Wolverine' Movie - Learn How Hugh Jackman Got His Muscular 'Wolverine' Body
Just when 'Wolverine' fans think the story of Logan, played by actor Hugh Jackman, is over, sources now reveal that there will be a new 'Wolverine' movie coming up.
Hugh Jackman starred in "The Wolverine" released this summer but is said to be on the negotiating table with Twentieth Century Fox for the new installment of Wolverine.
According to Deadline, Twentieth Century Fox has already began talks with James Mangold and Hugh Jackman for the two to bring back the hairy X-Men character to the big screen.
The news of the new Wolverine installment came after the summer solo adventure of Wolverine grossed $413 million. This makes "The Wolverine" one of the highest grossing films from X-Men.
The first solo adventure of Wolverine is "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" but the brooding character's appearance in the 2009 film did not make much of an impact. The second installation was a saving grace for the character, fans say.
The NY Daily News writes that if the film pushes through, it will be Mangold's and Jackman's third collaboration. Hugh Jackman starred in the comedy titled "Kate & Leopold" in 2001, a film directed by Mangold.
In a July interview with NY Daily News, the actor said he loves the character and added, "I never take for granted the opportunity I have to play what I think is one of the cooler, more interesting, multi-layered comic book characters."
The actor also said that his "body will give up" at some point but is "enjoying it more than ever."
