\"XMenOriginsWolverine\"<\/a>In the opinion of many, it would be hard for\u00a0a Wolverine sequel to not get better. But few could expect that an Oscar-winning screenwriter would be tapped to write the follow up, and his involvement might bring an acclaimed director back to the X-Men <\/strong>franchise.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>has announced that Christopher McQuarrie, who won an Academy Award for his work on The Usual Suspects<\/strong>, will be taking over writing chores on the sequel to this year’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sequel is rumored to be an ipso facto adaptation to the character-defining Chris Claremont and Frank Miller Wolverine <\/strong>comic book miniseries. If that is the case, the story will take place in Japan and deal with Logan’s run in with\u00a0crime boss\u00a0and his star-crossed romance with the gangster’s daughter.<\/p>\n

McQuarrie’s involvement has caused MTV’s Splash Page<\/a> to theorize that it might also mean director Bryan Singer’s return to the X-Men <\/strong>franchise. McQuarrie is a frequent collaborator of\u00a0Singer’s. In addition to The Usual Suspects<\/strong>, the screenwriter also worked with the director on Public Access<\/strong> and Valkyrie<\/strong>, worked an uncredited contribution on the first X-Men <\/strong>film, and received an “special thanks” on Apt Pupil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Singer has recently gone on record <\/a>expressing interest in returning to the X-Men <\/strong>film universe. His involvement in rebooting Warner’s Superman franchise with Superman Returns<\/strong> took him out of the running for second X-Men <\/strong>sequel, X-Men: The Last Stand<\/strong>, which was directed instead by Brett Ratner.<\/p>\n

Singer’s involvement is only in the wishful thinking stage, but is interesting to contemplate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
