Wolverine getting his own movie

[Your Mom]

X MARKS THE SPIN-OFF: Twentieth Century Fox is giving Hugh Jackman's X-Men character, Wolverine, his own movie. The studio has tapped Troy scribe David Benioff to pen the spin-off, which will likely explore the steel-clawed hero's pre-mutant days, Variety reports. In addition to Wolverine, Fox is also prepping a third X-Men.

Well, this film should make us all forget Van Helsing and realize once again that Jackman and Wolverine go hand in hand. Then again, it could be Jackman's Catwoman, so we'll have to see.

David didn't impress me with Troy, but he more than wowed me with his book The 25th Hour. I think the reason that they panned out so differently on screen breaks down to directing. 25th Hour became Spike Lee's baby, and with the help of Ed Norton came off brilliantly whereas Wolfgang and Pitt failed to deliver with troy.

I thought that like...as soon as the first movie ended it was announced that the third installment of the movies...would in fact be the Wolverine movie? At least that's what I remember.

So now...they've become two different movies? Or never were, whatever.

[BlackFlagg]

this is a pretty good idea, gives a way to have Wolverine search out his past and have it done properly instead of just a side story in the X-Men movie

[Kane's Mullet Slacker]

Awesome, there are so many possiblities for this movie I wonder if they're going to do his true origin like in 'Origin' comic series or just explain the origin of the Weapon X program. Hopefully Sabretooh makes an apperance.

I loved the guy who played Sabertooth in the first movie-- he also happened to be a pro wrestler.

Sabretooth was played by Tyler Mane, who wrestled as Big Sky in WCW, I believe.

I'm not a huge fan of Wolverine, but I'd be interested in seeing a movie about him, especially if it means that Whedon focuses more on non-Wolverine characters in X3.

I thought this was announced as a spin-off soon after the first as has already been said. I knew about it anyhow, I can't judge anything yet because I don't know much.

Spinoff eh?

Was anyone else thinking the "Wolverine Variety Hour"

I wasn't, but now I am. Bastard.

I heard that they are having a Wolverine movie, AND an X3, tho I dont know which will come first.

Apparently, the only people who havent signed on for X3 are Magneto (waiting to see the script), Prof. X (waiting to see the script), Wolverine (waiting to see the script), and Rogue (waiting to see if Jackman agrees to the script). Everyone else has already signed on for X3 (INCLUDING COLOSSUS!!!!), so I believe that Wolvie will have his own movie. But who knows.

The Blob needs to be the main villian in X-3.

I think that's his name.

The very fat man in black spandex. I have a comic with his on the cover battling the X-Men somewhere.

The Blob > You

How does everyone think they will present the Pheonix Saga in the third movie-- as we all know they have started off track from the comic mythos? Will they somehow guide it back on track or will they 'Striker' it up?

[Johnny Latino Heat]

I think they'll try and go the Ultimate X-Men way, being the Phoenix Force a cosmic force of some sorts that was inside Jean all along. Can't find other real explanation for it, but hey, it's an X-Men movie... What do I know, right?

[Summers]

I never heard that Wolvy's movie was going to be X3, sounds like an ugly rumour.

A Wolverine spin off was always a possibility. X3 was planned to follow the Phoenix saga. Much like how Wolvy got his own game - he gets his own movie.
