Little is known about James Mangold’s sequel to The Wolverine, though it has been reported that the sequel will feature some sort of team-up between Hugh Jackman’s Logan and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X.
Regardless, The Wrap reports Michael Green is set to write the movie for Fox and is working closely with Mangold on putting the project together. Green is no stranger to the world of comic books after working on Smallville and Heroes, while he’s one of the many writers credited for Green Lantern too. He also penned a draft of The Flash a number of years ago, but his most recent projects include the Blade Runner and Prometheus sequels.
Mangold’s focus is now said to be on The Wolverine 2 (or 3 if you include X-Men Origins: Wolverine) after his next movie – The Deep Blue Goodbye – was put on hold due to an injury suffered by Christian Bale. This movie is still set for 2017 regardless.
