Thanks to ScreenRant, it’s been confirmed that James Mangold will be taking the reins of the next chapter in everybody’s favourite mutant starring Hugh Jackman, The Wolverine.

After a long and exhaustive search conducted after the previous director Darren Aronofsky walked away from the project citing concerns over the time he would need to spent overseas away from his family. For a time there was list of 8 different directors being touted as all possible replacements, but Mr Mangold has been crowned as victorious.

James Mangold, director of Walk The Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Girl, Interrupted, and Cop Land, has some very big shoes to fill in Darren Aronofsky’s absence. Not only does he have shoes to fill but he has been tasked with getting audiences to take Wolverine seriously again.

Greetings all,

It appears that director Darren Aronofsky has walked away from The Wolverine citing the shoot time as primary reason.

The Hollywood Reporter states that Mr Aronofsky realised that the film shoot would take him away from his family for almost a year and he was uncomfortable with that and has since left the project.

Greetings all,

I am a fan of Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine.

I don’t think that you can find a better actor to portray the rage, the depth of emotion, and sheer physicality of the Canadian mutant known as Logan.

The one thing that I have always struggled with his Mr Jackman’s height, he’s 6ft 2in, and Wolverine is supposed to be about 5ft 3in. That’s a pretty big difference.

Personally I’ve been able to overlook this variation away from the comic books simply because his performance has been so damn good. Although I am really basing this on ‘X-Men’ and ‘X2’ because the less said about ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ the better…

Now comes hope for a more accurate depiction of the “ol’ canucklehead” in the form of Darren Aronofsky, director of the forthcoming Wolverine film, ‘The Wolverine’.
