Vulture is reporting that Black Swan helmer Darren Aronofksy is in negotiations to direct Wolverine 2 for Fox, now that Superman is off the table at Warner Bros.
The site says that Aronofsky was interested in taking on Superman, but the studio went with Zack Snyder instead, as was reported yesterday.
Wolverine 2 was written by Christopher McQuarrie and will again start Hugh Jackman in the title role.
The plot is said to involve Logan beginning a forbidden romance with a Japanese woman whose hand in marriage is, unfortunately, promised to another man. Since Logan won’t take “no” for an answer, it puts him into battle with her father and her samurai-sword-wielding brothers.
