More details expected to be announced shortly
David Benioff, penner of the forthcoming “Wolverine” (and acclaimed new drama “The Kite-Runner”), tells JewReview.net that the trades will be spilling some details on the film within the next couple of weeks – including specs on which characters we can expect to see fighting alongside Captain Claws.
Meantime, he confirms that “Silver Fox is one of the big ones” and ‘’Stryker is in it. But I signed some massive contract at Fox that I’m not allowed to say, so I better shut-up now.”
Benioff’s a big fan of the “X-Men” comics – so writing the film was a blast, apparently.
“I grew up a huge fan of comics and Logan especially, so the research was the most fun research I’ve ever had to do. I started going back and re-reading all the comics, mostly which I had read before. But then I started reminding myself about the character and all the back story, which I have still. The really fun thing about working on that project is you can send an email out to the guy at Marvel, ‘Can you send me comics 200-290?’ and you get these care packages in the mail. One of the things I loved about working on that movie is knowing that it would make my 14-year-old self so happy knowing if he was looking forward, this is what – .”
As for the plot? “I think I’m not allowed to say, but it is a prequel and it’s an origin, but they don’t want me to talk about the specific comic book. The answer is ‘yes, there is’ but they told me not to say.”
