Hugh Jackman Talks THE WOLVERINE Sequel
For fan boys everywhere, the question becomes: Will Hugh Jackman be coming back to play Wolverine in The Wolverine sequel?

I was on the phone with Jim Mangold last night. There are some really cool ideas that I’m dying to tell you, but that would be giving away a secret that is not even [fully] formed yet.He admits from a creative standpoint that they won’t be rushing another film out with a half-baked idea:
I don’t want to dive into another one until we have a compelling reason to do another one. I love the character, he’s kind of like a best friend to me, and I don’t ever want to take [him] or the fans for granted. … I think we’ve got a great opportunity to make something really cool, but it has to be great. That’s what we’re all working toward.Even though Jackman’s deal with Fox expires after the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, he seems optimistic that something could be worked out:
I started with a two-picture deal on the first two [X-Men films], and from that point on, it’s been movie by movie — not just me, but Fox and Jim and everyone. I do want to do it with Jim and with [producer] Lauren Shuler-Donner because we had such a great experience. I’m really proud of The Wolverine. I kind of am enjoying him more than ever… Being older helps playing Wolverine. He’s 200 or 300 years old — no one really knows — and he’s sort of world-weary. The actual working out gets harder and harder, I’ll admit.Are you ready for more Wolverine by way of Jackman?
