The "Wolverine" sequel will begin filming this October and be released sometime next year, according to star Hugh Jackman.
As Digital Spy reports, Jackman broke the news during an interview with Toronto radio station CHFI.
"We shoot in October, so it will probably come out a year after that. That's usually around the timeline," he said.
Earlier this month, Fox signed director James Mangold ("Knight and Day," "3:10 to Yuma" and "Walk the Line") for the project to replace Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), who dropped out of the project in March.
"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 this month's "X-Men: First Class," a far superior film to "Wolverine."
"The Wolverine," as the sequel has come to be called, has a script from Christopher McQuarrie, whose resume includes "The Usual Suspects" and "Valkyrie," as well as the recently announced Jack Reacher adaptation, "One Shot." The story will be set mostly in Japan.
