Deadline is reporting that Darren Aronofsky’s deal to direct X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 is close enough to being completed that 20th Century Fox has turned their attention to filming. The site reports that shooting will get underway this March in New York “so the filmmaker and Hugh Jackman don’t have to inconvenience their families.”
When filming in New York is complete, the project will move to Japan “to shoot the bulk of the Christopher McQuarrie-scripted movie.”
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 does not yet have a release date.
