Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with another bit of confirmation from Variety, this time it's that Hugh Jackman and partner John Palermo's production company (SEED) has worked out a first look deal with 20th Century Fox for the David Benioff-scripted WOLVERINE spin-off movie, to be developed after X3.
Now a first look deal isn't a greenlight guaranteed movie, but since Jackman has a producing interest and will certainly be starring, I'm sure it won't be much of a struggle for Fox to decide to go forward with the film. That is, of course, if Ratner doesn't totally fuck up the character and series with X3. I, personally, think this would be a great opportunity for Jackman to get some really talented filmmaker to take Wolvie to places we haven't seen yet. Who's your ideal director? What about favorite solo Wolverine story-line?
