Thor and Wolverine Movie Updates!

So today was a big news day for Marvel movie fans. Hugh Jackman has announced that The Wolverine (sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine), is in full swing. And by full swing, I mean it starts filming in October. Now... I, and many others, weren't huge fans of the first Wolverine spin-off. What makes this one any better? Well, rumor has it that it'll take place in Japan, as the after-credit scene showed a bit of. And Wolverine in Japan is one of his greatest storyarcs. He gets humbled by some samurai, and all that jazz! Let's hope they do this one well. Hugh Jackman can't be Wolverine forever (or can he?) This guys made a literal career of playing the role of Wolverine. And he's got it down. This movie will mark his sixth movie appearance as the character (if you're counting his cameo in X-Men: First Class).

In other news, it was confirmed today that Thor 2 is under way, slated for 2013. Kenneth Branagh is not returning to direct the film however. Good thing? Bad thing? Does it matter? Believe it or not, Thor is a hard character to adapt to the silver screen, and Branagh did it better than we imagined. Let's hope his successor takes some good notes!
