David Slade and Robert Schwentke are reportedly vying to direct the follow-up to 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and according to Vulture, it’s Slade (“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) that will ultimately be the choice of the studio and returning star Hugh Jackman:
Both men have been approved by the studio’s brass, and though Jackman will ultimately be the one to make the call after meeting with each next week, a well-placed source inside the production insists, “It’s going to be Slade.”
‘Wolverine 2’ is expected to be released in 2011.
