Hugh Jackman wants to hit a home run with the James Mangold-directed THE WOLVERINE. The busy actor recently spoke with The Guardian about the upcoming sequel/ one-off tale:
“I think we’ve got the chance to nail the character this time, to do the hole-in-one.” said Jackman. “We haven’t managed that yet. On the last movie, we complicated it with too many other characters. And there’ll be more women this time, which is good. The last one was so masculine!”
“I don’t think we’ve ever seen his rage expressed properly.” he continues. “We’re letting go with this one of the whole, ‘Who am I? Where did I come from? Oh no, I’ve lost my memory,’ thing. I feel like that’s sent us all to sleep. ‘Yeah, whatever pal. We’re bored! Fine, you were a sushi chef, whatever it was, can we just get on with the story now?'”
THE WOLVERINE follows Logan as he treks Japan and falls in love with a woman whose hand is already promised to another. When Logan 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.
Yeah do it man!
No, I say stop it right away!
Jackman has got one thing right, they stuffed up the first one.
I would like to see how the sequel turns out, as long as they stick to a minimle amount of charcters!!! AND No more events leading to….Example; Xaivier ‘collecting’ the kids at the end!
I would live to see Sunfire in this but yeah, they should keep the characters and cameos limited.
For me, Wolverine and the Silver Samurai could be the only mutants in the next one. Heavy focus on Wolvs, set in a dark and bloody story. Period.
Cannot wait for this film!
I agree. Hopefully this will be a very character-driven film with intense style.
This an old interview, he said something like this three weeks ago.
