Hugh Jackman talks The Wolverine sequel

November 15th, 2013 by Marc Comments

Hugh Jackman has been talking about his hopes for a sequel to The Wolverine.

Speaking with EW, the Australian actor confirmed he had been chatting to director James Mangold about a possible film.

“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 said.

The actor also said he wanted to work with the same team that recently produced The Wolverine.

“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,” he continued.

However, Jackman said they wouldn’t be rushing out another film just for the sake of it.

“I don’t want to dive into another one until we have a compelling reason to do another one,” he added. “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.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
