Wolverine
 

According to Wizard, a Wolverine movie IS in the works. David Benoiff, who wrote TROY, is writing the script. It's slated to come out rapid fire after X3.

We were talking about this in art class today,it was pretty short my friend Ryan said "there making a Wolverine movie" and then James said "why?"

Cool, I hope that it's going to be more like that "Coyotes"-storyline we got to read a while ago.

Or something explaining the rivalry Logan/Creed (I never got that myself either)

Meh. We see enough of him in the movies, IMO.


Though, it is a better idea than the magneto movie.

Agreed. Wolverine is cool and all, but does he really need his own movie to go along with X1 to 3?

Considering how complex a character he is...

I figure that if they do a Wolverine movie it'll be more action and less romance, which is what I hated about X1 and X2.

Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, and what he does ain't nice. I wanna see more.

I'd love to see Omega Red in this movie.

i dont supose they will show the short-live hulk aliiance, because of how the portrayed the hulk in his movie

Agreed. Omega Red is one of my favorite villians in the marvel universe.

Aaaaand we have a title and release date!

How can Gambit be in a prequel?? This is set in Wolverine’s past…Gambit would have to be a little kid…perhaps a small cameo of a little kid thief trying to steal from Logan?

Indeed, especially since they are bringing in a younger Stryker,(the President from "Manchurian Candidate?) unless the movieverse Gambit is geriatric by the X-movies, he'd have to be a kid in XO:W. And by the sounds of that title, one wonders if we'll see all of the X-men's origins.

Well, I'm a big wolvie fan... I like him almost as much as TMNT, so I'm psyched. I heard rumors about this around the time of X-Men 2 and I've been looking forward to it. Still pissed after all these years that they couldn't get Glen Danzig to play the canucklehead, but oh well, just cuz Danzig is the perfect candidate physically, I doubt he's a very good actor. :lol:

I read (I think in Wizard, but it could have been somewhere else) that we can expect an entire Wolvie trilogy.

2009. Rapid fire indeed. lol

Yeah, I re-read the first post a snickered too.

Well I know that other than Wolverine there's also the Magneto movie in the works....there was a rumoured Storm film for a while but only Wolverine and Magneto are official.

The same way Bobby Drake can be a kid in X2 and X3 when he's actually one of the founding members in the comics. Just the movie universe is all.

Waiting for her??? But she was in all 3 movies... played by 2 different actresses.

She's right.

Can anyone list ONE memorable thing Gambit has ever done besides try and shag Rouge or led Sinister's Marauders into Morlock tunnels so they can slaughter them?

Saved Storm from Nanny and the Orphan Maker

Proved to the X-Men he wasn't the Onslaught traitor Bishop suspected

Led the X-Men in Claremont's second run

Saved the world from aliens in X-Treme X-Men and ended up depowered as a result

Was listed as Marvel's third most popular character in a reader poll behind Wolvie & Spidey in the mid-90's

Claremont and Nicieza know how to write Gambit. I don't trust anyone else to though, not even Lobdell who I loved. He's not my favorite X-Men, but I like the character mainly due to the 90s cartoon and think he's been mistreated by too many writers.

As for the Wolverine movie - May 1, 2008! I CAN'T WAIT!

I thought John Layman's run was good. Took a nice, fun and uncomplicated approach to the character. Chuck Austen's little UXM two-parter was a refreshing change too.

Gambit works if done in a certain way. He was of a period of style over substance and, while that isn't always a bad thing, a lot more could be done with him. Recently he's been made into a joke and it doesn't help that a lot of comic writers hate him.

I really hope Gambit's in this movie. They've passed on too many opportunities not to have him in an "X-Men" film.

The title itself is pretty sweet: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I wonder if there'll be more after this and Magneto. Speaking of Magneto, did they ever announce who would be the director for that film?

Uh, be awesome? Go to hell.

Is there a level LOWER than here?

Well, not to fuel the fire, as per the Gambit thing... I used to really like him (my brother still does) but I felt his constant 'I love you Rogue, but now I dont but now I do' got tired quickly. So, really, I dont care if he's in it or not.

As for the movie... :/ The only incarnation I ever like Wolverine in was the movies (and I was about done with him then, too), so I'm not all that hyped about a WHOLE Wolvie movie.

Kodi Smit-McPhee has been cast as a young Logan in the upcoming Wolverine movie. Kodi is 11 years old. Now...who's playing Rose?!

This news posts claims that DEADPOOL MAY BE IN THE MOVIE ASLKGJLGJDLFGHSFDHLKJ!!!!!!!

I read that yesterday. Here's hoping Ryan Reynolds plays him.

Well...um...Bishop picked a fight with him because he thought he was the X-Men traitor.

Other than that...not much. Gambit's one of my least favorite X-Men. I even think Shatterstar's cooler, because he at least has a sword.

Nothing created by Rob Liefeld is cooler than anything else ever.

Deadpool?! Frak! He needs his own movie period!! Oh man... Deadpool in the Wolverine movie. How many Golden Girls references will this movie have now??

Wolverine is cool and all but Deadpool just reeks of awesomeness!! Yay!! Deadpool on the big screen!!! :D

Now they just need a Hydra agent named Bob....:lol:

I really don't get all the Liefeld hate. Sure his artistic talent...leaves much to be desired, but I'm entertained by his bad art in the same way bad movies are entertaining, so IMO his comics are still worthwhile.

IMO there are people in comics who are more deserving of criticism, like Todd McFarlane for being an egomaniac who goes on and on in interviews about how he created a character better than Superman or Batman even though Spawn really was just a fad of the 90's.

It's not just that his art is bad. It's that coupled with the fact that he tends to swipe other peoples art.

And he thinks he's hot ****...Telling Jim Lee that he was crazy when Lee told him to ditch the Cap cover where he had Liefield tits. "No, you're wrong, I'm -awesome-."

Never heard that one before. I do know he has some funny ideas about anatomy, and everyone always looks like they are angry and on steroids in his art.

Still, I'm kinda neutral on the guy, because there are much bigger jerks in comics, and I still think Cable is cool. :)

I have a feeling if they cast Deadpool right, he's going to steal the show so to speak
