Sources confirm to E! News that the Hollywood star will reprise his signature role as the Marvel superhero for a sequel to this summer’s blockbuster hit The Wolverine.
That movie’s director James Mangold is also in talks with 20th Century Fox to take the reigns again as well as write a treatment for the follow up, which Lauren Shuler Donner is producing.
The storyline is being kept under wraps for now, but word of another installment is a no-brainer considering The Wolverine is now the second-highest grossing X-Men film of all time, raking in $413 million worldwide.
