The Wolverine and Magneto thread

[_____V_____]

the only good team movie I've seen was Fantastic Four, it may have been a crapy movie overall but atleast the idea of the characters working as a team, as a family was there.

Model-turned-actress Beau Garrett has joined the cast of the forthcoming Fantastic Four sequel, Fantastic Four 2: The Rise of the Silver Surfer. She joins returning cast members Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis in the comic-based flick, as well as newcomers Andre Braugher and Doug Jones.

Garrett will play Frankie Raye, a scientist and love interest to Chris Evans' character. In the comic book series on which the films are based, Raye becomes a superhero named Nova with Human Torch-like abilities.

Filming for Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer is currently underway in Vancouver. The movie is set for a June 15, 2007 release.

I've also heard that we've got Iron Man & Namor on the way. Plus a slew of others I'm sure.

Iron Man is in the works(possible with Mr. Looney Tunes hisself-Tom Cruise), Ghost Rider out in Feb 07...Fantastic Four later and then the Punisher II...man, I have not found anything on Namor or Deadpool...those could be some of the best if they do it right...
A dark Wolverine movie would do the X-men movie series some much needed justice...I don't want to offend anyone, but the 3rd one (the guy with all the piercings playing the Angel character) the Juggernaut a mutant now-who in the comics...like around issue 102 or so I think he could handle the whole team alone, Prof X getting fried ...just really a big letdown for me.

Tony Stark (Iron Man) is being played by Robert Downy Jr and Jon Favreau is directing. Should be really good.

I'm sorry, what is info about the Fantastic Four doing in a Wolverine thread?
I only used Fantastic Four for a reference when I was trashing the X-Men movies.

Benioff's script outline for Wolverine :-

Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately signs up and goes through the mutant Weapon X program.

As of October 15, 2006, the script is finished, and Hugh Jackman indicates there will be a year before shooting. He has denied rumours that it will be based on Chris Claremont's and Frank Miller's Wolverine limited series.

“We've now signed off on the script. If you know about the history of the X-Men movies, that's a revolution for us. We're a year away from shooting the film and we have the script," Jackman said.

Finally, while the story is definitely a prequel, it won’t be using the elements of the Japanese tale that recent comics have focused on after Logan’s origin story. “At present, no. That is still something we really want to do. What we need to do is establish who he is and find out how he became Wolverine," Jackman explained.

Oh, and he’s interested in a sequel too!

Gavin Hood, the South African director of the acclaimed "Tsotsi" has just landed himself the plum job of the first "X-Men" spin-off film, "Wolverine", with Hugh Jackman set to again star as the near-indestructible mutant.

Hugh will return to the role after completing work on "Australia", which he is currently filming with Nicole Kidman - Production is scheduled to begin in November, with an eye for a Summer 2008 release.

Jackman is quoted as saying: "I have long been a fan of Gavin's work and know he will make a masterful film with the character intensity and action beats the fans expect".

"Wolverine" is from a script by David Benioff ("25th Hour", "Troy").

Hugh Jackman, who will reprise his role as the feral mutant Logan in Fox's forthcoming X-Men spinoff Wolverine, recently dropped a few hints about what fans can expect to see in the Gavin Hood-directed movie.

The project is a prequel that reportedly details Logan's back-story in the Weapon X program, and his first encounter with Sabretooth. Logan is also expected to have a new love interest. In an interview with WizardUniverse.com, Jackman downplayed the notion that Logan's past adventures in Japan might also be a part of the film.

"[The Japan connection] is still something we really want to do," Jackman said. "What we need to do is establish who he is and find out how he became Wolverine. And by the end of the movie, I want it to be that you definitely knew who this guy was, like Mad Max and Dirty Harry. He's a good guy, but he's not a nice guy. He's just the guy you want on your side."

WizardUniverse's sources indicated the film would see Logan in Vietnam and might include cameos by comic book characters such as John Wraith, better known as the mutant teleporter Kestrel, and Fred J. Dukes, a.k.a. The Blob.

Kestrel was a member of the CIA's covert ops Team X along with Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, Mastodon, and Silver Fox.

Wolverine is set to start shooting in November with a 2008 release planned. Lauren Shuler-Donner is producing along with Jackman and John Palmermo through their production company, Seed Prods.

looking forward to magneto and wolverine. Although, this may get me som bashing, i have never really liked wolverine. I was always a gambit or beast person. I was told they were hoping for 2 more x-men (and apparently, on a different topic, Shrek 4 and 5 are planned. They're good but how much more of it can they pull off. Havent seen it but I'v been told Shrek the 3rd wasn't that good.)
