THE WOLVERINE to film in Japan!

THE WOLVERINE will film in Japan!

“We’re doing the stage work in Australia…the location work will be in Japan.” said 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman when asked by MTV about filming locations.

“It’s set in Japan,” continues Rothman. “A great number of Japanese actors will be in it and it’s based on the very famous run of the comics. I can just tell you [Hugh Jackman’s] goal is to make the ultimate, bad ass, berserker rage Wolverine.”

The film will follow Logan as he treks Japan and falls in love with a woman whose hand is already promised to another. When he doesn’t back down, her powerful crimelord father summons the Silver Samurai and other deadly threats in the X-Men universe to push Logan’s healing-factor to the limit.
