Filming on the anticipated sequel to Fox's "X-Men Origin: Wolverine" may not begin until next spring.
Deadline is reporting that while the studio had been eying a fall start-date, weather concerns in Japan have delayed matters. Star Hugh Jackman said in a June interview with Toronto radio station CHFI that filming was set to begin in October.
That same month, Fox signed director James Mangold ("Knight and Day," "3:10 to Yuma," "Walk the Line") to the project to replace Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), who dropped out in March.
According to Deadline, the weather issues may lead to part of the filming being moved to Canada. Christopher McQuarrie's ("The Usual Suspects," "Valkyrie") script, as it stands now, is set mostly in Japan.
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" hit theaters in 2009, spinning off of the successful "X-Men" trilogy, told the backstory of Logan/Wolverine (played by Jackman). That film was expected to be first of a number of films exploring the histories of various X-Men. The next was supposed to be "Magneto," but it was eventually reworked into June's "X-Men: First Class," a far superior film to "Wolverine."
