Last week it was reported that filming on "The Wolverine" will most likely be pushed back until early next year. Now Variety has confirmed that 20th Century Fox has hired Mark Bomback to rewrite the script.
Bomback's credits include "Live Free of Die Hard," "Unstoppable" and "Race to Witch Mountain," as well as the forthcoming "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Total Recall."
He will be working from theoriginal script from Christopher McQuarrie's ("The Usual Suspects," "Valkyrie"). The story is expected to be set in Japan, although is the Japanese delays continue, some of the filming could be moved to Canada.
James Mangold ("Knight and Day," "3:10 to Yuma," "Walk the Line") is set to direct and star Hugh Jackman is reprising his role as Wolverine. Last week, it was reported that while Fox had been eying a fall start-date, weather concerns in Japan have delayed matters.
"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."
