Is Fox Prepping A Second WOLVERINE Film?? If So, Its Writer May Be...


Merrick here...

Adam sent in this message from Bradford international Film Festival in the UK (website HERE).

His message pretty much speaks for itself...

i'm currently working at the bradford international film festival in the UK, and tonight we had simon beaufoy, screenwriter of slumdog millionaire doing a screentalk.

anyway he dropped a bit of a scoop, hes been employed to write the script for "wolverine 2" a film

i didnt actually realise was even in the pipeline.

he commented that while he was apprehensive about the project (claiming to not even know what a wolverine was!) his agent pursuaded him to take it on.

he clarified that working on a film thats successor has yet to be finished was a strange experience, and one that he wasnt sure he was comfortable with. anyway, i read your site everyday and figured id send this interesting little tidbit over,

adam




Maybe Logan/Wolverine will get some badass new weapons in the second film. Maybe this could be one of them!
