Wolverine Being Re-Written

After a number of delays and setbacks plaguing the current Wolverine film it looks as though a re-write is now being added to the list of things to do.

Mark Bomback, the man who wrote Unstoppable has stepped up to re-write the film’s script, after filming was delayed due to weather issues in Japan.

The new film will see anti-hero Wolverine looking for a place in the Japanese underworld, where he will find love and a number of problems courtesy of of the evil Silver Samurai.

It has also been reported that Wolverine will also be facing problems from Viper, the secretary for Japan’s Minister of Justice. Fans of the comic book world will already know Viper, having once trained with Wolverine himself and having deeper dealing with Silver Samurai.

It looks as though due to the issues with filming director James Mangold has taken the opportunity to perfect the script that was initially completed by Christopher McQuarrie, so it should be shaping up to be even better than it would have been. All good things and all that.

Filming for The Wolverine begins in Tokyo and Vancouver next year.
