Variety reports that Fox, along with Hugh Jackman and Seed Productions, has begun to plan the sequel (after the $87m opening weekend gross of Wolverine) , although a writer has yet to be hired. It will focus on the Japanese-set storyline, where his character – in an effort to control his bestial ways – trains in the way of the samurai, and also falls in love with the daughter of a Yakuza crime lord.
Three other projects with Hugh Jackman involved are also mentioned.
Drive – An adaptation of the James Sallis novel revolving around a man (Jackman) who drives race cars by day and getaway cars by night.
Personal Security- A movie about a tough New York cop forced to bodyguard a spoilt heiress.
Carousel-A remake of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical.
