ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype has confirmed that Black Swan and The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky is in talks with 20th Century Fox to direct Wolverine 2.
If the deal goes through, it would mean he will be re-teaming with his The Fountain star Hugh Jackman on the film that was written by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie, upcoming The Tourist).
The plot involves 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.
