Wolverine 2 is already in the works and if the rumours are true, they may have found their director. Darren Aronofsky is leading the contenders for the directors chair.
Darren Aronofsky has emerged as a contender to direct “X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2” for 20th Century Fox according to Deadline New York.
Considering that Hugh Jackman will have a lot of influence over who gets the cushy folding chair job, and he has worked with Aronofsky before in the Fountain, he could very well get the gig.
I would be curious to see how he handles the tone of the film. Aronofsky’s previous works have mostly been character driven dark drama. And while dealing with Logan’s “forgetting” trip to Japan, I do like that they would take a serious dramatic look at it.
But this is Wolverine. We want some snikt-snikt action with some rough Canadian brawling action too, and I just have no perspective on how Aronofsky might handle the action.
Seems an odd fit for me. He just doesn’t seem the comic book action type.
