Hugh Jackman Says The Wolverine Begins Filming In August

Hey everyone, big news. Wolverine 2 will begin filming this summer.After countless delays, the sequel appears ready to begin filming, according to its lead.

Hugh Jackman himself Posted on Twitter that the Wolverine
sequel “starts shooting in August.” He was responding to an inquiry
from a follower, which just goes to show you that every once in a while,
when you ask a celebrity a question via social media, they’ll answer.


But this remains one of those believe-it-when-I-see-it situations, as
Jackman has appeared ready to slip back into the adamantium claws for
some time now, and has run into numerous delays. Directors come and go
(James Mangold’s currently on the hook to helm). Natural disasters
affect Japan, where the crew planned to film. Jackman moves on to
musicals, like Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables.


Perhaps Wolverine really will begin filming in August, with
Jackman finally able to bring the classic Frank Miller-John Romita
Japanese storyline to fruition. If you remember, it was teased all the
way back in 2009, at the end of the credits of X-Men: Origins – Wolverine.
The actor has remained committed to the role, and to the fans. He
deserves the opportunity to get Wolverine right. (Even though I’d argue
he already did an outstanding Wolvie in Bryan Singer’s first X-Men
movie.) If they start filming in August, as Jackman claims, expect
casting news soon. The movie has a tentative release date of July 26,
2013, which will be difficult to make even if that August date comes
true.

I've enjoyed all the X-Men movies, so I'm looking forward to the next Wolverine flick. I heard it might not take into consideration the events of Origins; That it might be a stand-alone more than a sequel. Kinda like Punisher Warzone was to the Punisher with Tom Jane. Not a remake, but not a sequel.
