Hugh Jackman is coming up on his seventh film as Wolverine and an eighth has already been confirmed. Now many fans are wondering if The Wolverine 2 will make number nine. The even more pressing question is if we will ever see Wolvie dawn his yellow and blue spandex costume from the comics?
The next X-Men movie has already been announced following 2014’s Days of Future Past. However, Hugh Jackman still is not attached to Fox’s follow up to The Wolverine, and neither has director James Mangold. However, Mangold does have plans for the sequel, telling Comic Book Resources:
“I would just say it is always going to be about his relationships to other characters. We are very much trying to work with existing text. There are other great Wolverine stories out there but suffice it to say there are great texts about his connections to others, villains, characters from the lore and from the comics that we can bring out and have another great and meaningful adventure.”
Mangold also added that we may never get to see Logan dawn his famous yellow and blue (black) cowl:
“Finding the rationale for a uniform when the character disdains self promotion, why he would put on some outfit that promotes himself as some kind of hero? It's like Dirty Harry didn't walk around with special outfit. There's a difficult line to walk. He's not a showoff, he's the last one to put on a team jersey. The flesh and blood character is very loyal to that iconoclastic rebel who doesn't seem to be the first to don spandex. It isn't something I've talked about much. Some fans may be frustrated, but we're trying to be true to his character. Who knows whether that will change, I cannot verify and will not deny.”
Do you think there should be a Wolverine 2? Would you like to see Wolvie get in his comic costume?
