“Wolverine” movie won’t be a sequel
Seems the Magneto movie won’t be the only “X-Men” spin-off that’s set before the events of a transformed Jean Grey.
In an exclusive with IESB.net, Fox head Tom Rothman revealed that “Wolverine” will also be a prequel, set before the events of the first “X-Men” film. Many assumed it would be set after the events of the forthcoming “X-Men 3”, with rumours that some of the folks from that movie – including Anna Paquin and Vinnie Jones – would be joining the side-burned superhero.
“Wolverine” will be a back-story, by the sounds of it, explaining how young James Howlett became to be the unstoppable Logan Wolverine. (good background info on the character http://www.comicbookcloset.com/wolverine_bio.htm here)
Looks like Hugh Jackman’s got to find a way to shred five or six years off himself pretty quickly.
