The Wolverine is the next installment into the ‘Wolverine’ movie series, starring Hugh Jackman. The movie has the potential to be an excellent addition to this series, but is it a love story?
The Wolverine
The Wolverine is a sequel to Wolverine (right, I know there was no need to repeat this). Well the good news is, there has been an official announcement on the next Wolverine movie. The bad news is, Wolverine 2 is going to be more of a love story, and has had its released date changed again. The new Wolverine movie is going to be released in 2012 now, no longer 2011.
The Wolverine sequel is based on the comics, and Logan’s love of a young lady in Japan. Apparently in ‘The Wolverine’, Logan travels to Japan to train with a Samurai warrior, and thats where he discovers his new love.
A beautiful love story about a man with claws, and who is ageless? While this follows the comic book (he fathers a child named Daken with a Japanese woman, in the comics) it doesn’t get us excited for a movie plot. But we’ve been wrong before, so I suppose we’ll have to give this a chance yet.
Rumor has it, the film is based around his love life, and is strictly based in Japan. The movie will most likely lead up to the eventual birth of his son, which would spawn many more movies in the future.
In the Wolverine official story, Logan embarks to Japan and falls in love with Mariko Yashida. Since nothing is easy, Mariko is the heiress to the Oyabun family, a powerful and lethal Yakuza crime family. We can only assume this is where Wolverine has to kick some ass, and take down 100′s of Ninjas.
Why you care
Wolverine is a great super-hero, even if his last movie sucked. Also, Hugh Jackman is perfecting his role as this clawed superhero, he gets better every time, even if the scripts to the new Wolverine Movies do not.

Our Clever Prediction
We tend to pay for Superhero movies, no matter how bad they are (Spider-man 3, Silver Surfer), why would this new Wolverine movie be any different?
I dont get why they dont just nut up and give us what we want: “WAR!!!” I dont know about u but i want to see a bunch of high powered mutants fighting each other to death. it would be so simple… Plot: Government brainwashes a bunch of mutants and trains them to be assassins. but before they can really put them to work they must get rid of the only force capable of stopping them: The X-Men. so they order the Mutassins to go and kill everyone at the x-men school. the x-men manage to fend the Mutassins (no-brainer), though i think just to make it interesting, that maybe a few students could get killed, and then some little girl with a super sonic voice can stumble upon a body and scream so loud every1 wakes up. basically they spend the whole movie protecting the students, they’ll split up the x-men into units of at least 2 and divide up the student into groups and assign them accordingly to a protection unit. and since that wolverine chick in X2 was obviously a clone i think it would be a good idea to bring her back and one very funny thing to do with that is have her fight wolverine and while defending against her attacks he would say “wait wait wait didnt i kill you already? and being that wolverine is kind of an animal and her having his DNA i think it would be really good if they couldnt resist each others pheromones and slept together without actually sleeping if u know what i mean…
He goes to japan thats cool maybe he might fight the silver samurai they were old enemies in the comics
I’m all for another Wolverine movie, if it sheds light on the real Wolverine. What I mean here is, Wolverine is an R rated character. HE drinks. He smokes. he curses. He kills people. Quit making PG-13 Wolverine movies so you can increase your profit margin. I want to see a Wolverine from the comics; an unrelenting killing machine who won’t stop until he finds out the truth about himself and will slash anyone who gets in his way. No mercy, all while smoking a cigar. What I’m saying is, Wolverine slasher film.
I want the Wolverine to be in Tokyo.
will k.,
sorry, i swear you just said wolverine origins kicked ass? so even the bit where they took the wolverine and deadpool storyline and shafted it, forgive me if im wrong but when were sabretooth and wolverine brothers? they were from the same species but no related at all…. deadpool nicknamed the merc with a mouth……..with no freakin mouth…….a created part just so will i am could be in the film…..yeah brilliant film
that being said new ilm….new director….new direction and if they do follow to comic storyline….frank miller is god so film should be awesome
