Wolverine

*Brodie* · 02-03-2005, 05:29 PM

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?"

*Anarky* · 02-03-2005, 05:56 PM

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)

*cqb101* · 02-03-2005, 06:50 PM

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?

*Brodie* · 02-03-2005, 09:59 PM

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.

*cqb101* · 02-04-2005, 06:04 AM

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

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

Aaaaand we have a title and release date!

Variety reports that 20th Century Fox has chosen May 1, 2009 — the familiar, and profitable, first official weekend of summer — to release X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

That’s right, the spin-off now has a confirmed title.

Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman and directed by Gavin Hood, will begin shooting later this year in Australia before moving to New Zealand and then to New Orleans. The trade paper notes that the latter location could mean the inclusion of Gambit in the storyline which, as the title suggests, deals with Wolverine’s early years.

According to Variety, Liev Schrieber is reportedly in final talks to play the younger version of William Stryker, portrayed in X2 by Brian Cox.

Wolverine is expected to feature many mutants, some new to the movie franchise and some from the previous three installments.

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?

**Jester** · 10-18-2007, 05:23 PM

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.

CudleyCowlick · 10-18-2007, 05:44 PM

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.

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

*Zachatello00* · 10-18-2007, 06:16 PM

2009. Rapid fire indeed. lol

**Jester** · 10-18-2007, 06:49 PM

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.

*KROW* · 10-19-2007, 09:31 AM

Yeah, Gambit'd have to be a kid for it to work well. I'm predicting we might have a Wolverine/Gambit relationship like Lone Wolf and Cub. It could work, since the whole Wolvie/Rogue thing. I'm still waiting for Jubilee, frankly.

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

*Dr. Doom* · 10-19-2007, 02:15 PM

She's right.

*ZariusTwo* · 10-19-2007, 03:29 PM

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?
