The Sun Will Rise on The Wolverine in 2013

Wolverine has joined Superman, Iron Man, and Thor by staking a claim on a 2013 release date, July 26. As the X-Men movie continuity has been spiraling out of control, I really don't know if this will tie in and frankly I hope it doesn't. The idea of The Wolverine as a stand alone in an ambiguous time period is much more appealing  than X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 starring Wolverine, Cable, Bishop, X-23, and Dazzler.

The Wolverine to Face off Against the Silver Samurai

Though it is not a huge surprise, Hugh Jackman has made it official, announcing that the villain of 2012's X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 AKA The Wolverine will be the Silver Samurai. Quoth Wolverine, "...I will be filming Wolverine 2 in October. Chris McQuarrie has written a fantastic script and it should turn out really good. I’ll fight the Silver Samurai in it so that should be exciting. Most of the filming will take place in Japan."
