The next movie adaptation for Wolverine which will soon be called as ‘Wolverine 2’ but still going through negotiations to change into an official title called ‘The Wolverine’ is still going through some current film setbacks. This is primarily due to the recent tsunami and earthquakes that have been occurring in Japan where shooting takes place for the movie. But lately, according to the star who would play as Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, shared that they are already coping up.
He last appeared and shared this information at the Comic Con panel last Thursday morning and he slipped that the film will start shooting by October. But what made it more exciting for the fans is the villain that Wolverine will face next and that would be Silver Samurai. The movie will be directed by James Marigold and one of the co-stars will be Kelly Hu. It is set to be released by 2012.
So who is Silver Samurai? He is the son of a Japanese crimelord and known to be a mutant. Since young, he has mastered the medieval samurai and even started being employed as someone for hire. He worked with Mandrill and even clashed with Daredevil, who is the popular yet blind hero. He has already battled a lot of other crimefighters in costumes such as Spider-Man, Shang-Chi, and even the New Mutants. He took over the leadership of his father but will soon be opposed by another mutant who is our hero this time around – Wolverine.
