Following last week’s news that Simon Kinberg has been hired to write the script for X-Men 3 it seems 20th Century Fox is ready to take the “X” franchise one step further by hiring Troy scribe, David Benioff to pen Wolverine, a spinoff focusing on the signature character from the studio’s lucrative “X-Men” series currently played by Hugh Jackman, who is expected to reprise the role and would be a fool to turn it down.
Wolverine is easily the most loved and recognizeable of the X-Men team as his background is the most highly developed not to mention those awesome steel claws and his ability to heal any injury in seconds.
Flashbacks showed he was used in a medical experiment in which his skeleton was painfully changed to indestructible steel. The question of who tortured him wasn’t solved and wasn’t addressed in the sequel.
