OlderX-Men Origins: Wolverine — Coming May 2009!
So dis the plan, mon ami?
The next chapter in the X-Men film franchise is called X-Men Origins: Wolverine, according to Variety.
Starring Hugh Jackman and directed by Gavin Hood, the film is set to open May 1, 2009. The superhero flick will explore the claw-wielding character Wolverine’s violent and romantic past, and his complex relationship with Victor Creed and the ominous Weapon X program, as well as his encounters with other mutants.
Liev Schreiber is in final talks to take on the role of a younger version of nemesis William Stryker, played by Brian Cox in X2.
Hood will start shooting in Australia before moving to New Zealand and, later, to New Orleans. Latter location is a clue that the storyline might include New Orleans-based character Gambit, who is able to make objects explode and was a professional thief before joining the X-Men.
An X-Men spinoff based on the character Magneto is also in the works.

As much as I love Hugh Jackman… another spinoff = bleh :/
I can’ t wait until May 2009…!
Just as long as Hugh has aleast one barely clothed scene I am there ;D
I was sooooo angry when Gambit wasn’t in the other three movies. Grrrrr! He was my favourite from the cartoon series. So here’s crossing fingers like crazy that the rumours are true. But who to play him? It would have to be someone with a southern accent. He is from New Orleans after all. And definitely someone young but not too young - I always imagined Gambit to be in his mid to late 20’s not some teeny booper - that would be Jubilee. And hey put her in the next one too!
This movie will be better than all the X-Men films.
Liev - good actor - completely bore.
Gambit - Josh Holloway.
Cole Hauser for Gambit would be awesome!
can not wait!!! love me some logan : )
Awesome! Can’t wait, Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite husbands.
There’s no Gambit.
That was some Variety d0uchebag taking a leap based around a New Orleans shoot locale.
THERE IS NO GAMBIT IN THIS.
Thanks
Ok, all I want to know is will Famke Janssen be in any of the new X-Men movies?!?!?!? I LOVE HER!!! And Jean Grey./Phoenix with Wolverine would be so damn hot!

Hubba hubba!!! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!! Seriously, he was ******’ sexy and so damn drop dead hot in x-men that i was drooling and now i get more!!
It is ALL about Gambit! I hope Josh Holloway plays him. He’s got the look. Plus he’s Southern too! Perfect!
Love Hugh! Can’t wait for this one. Here’s hoping Logan has a steamy love life!
