Silver Samurai Confirmed as The Wolverine Villain
All Wolverine fans are going to love us after this report. Or, maybe kill us for spoiling the whole thing? Well, we’ll take the responsibility for this one! After all, it’s not our fault, so blame it on Hugh Jackman!
So, here we are to share what Mr. Jackman had to say about the upcoming sequel of X-Men Origins: Wolverine while making an appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
So, while promoting Real Steel on Thursday, Jackman was so kind to tell us all who the villain will be in The Wolverine.
“I’m filming Les Miserables in February, but before that I will be filming Wolverine 2 in October. Chris McQuarrie has written a fantastic script and it should turn out really good. I’ll fight the ‘Silver Samurai’ in it so that should be exciting. Most of the filming will take place in Japan.”
Hugh Jackman Out of Avon Man, In for Wolverine 2
Hugh Jackman‘s new decision goes like this: Avon Man is OUT, Wolverine is IN!
Australian actor has backed out of a role of “an unemployed car dealer who swaps motors for cosmetics and becomes Avon’s top selling door-to-door representative” to prepare for the next Wolverine blockbuster. Well, that, kind of, makes sense, right?
But he’s still involved with the Avon Man project as a producer, an who knows, maybe this kind of role would have been something interesting for a guy like Jackman.

Hugh Jackman Developing Wolverine 2
Variety confirms recent rumors that Hugh Jackman is now in development on a sequel to the weekend hit “X-Men Origins: Wolverine“. With Wolverine earning $87 million in the US and $160 million combined in its opening weekend, 20th Century Fox has already given the go for the sequel to be made.
No writer has been hired but the sequel is expected the focus on the Logan in Japan samurai storyline from the comic book series.
Jackman previously spoke of the Japanese saga from the comic book.
“There are so many areas of that Japanese story,” he said. “I love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world – I can see it aesthetically, too – full of honor and tradition and customs and someone who’s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way. The idea of the samurai, too – and the tradition there. It’s really great. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai – not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first.”
