Fox Reportedly Wants James Mangold, Hugh Jackman for 'The Wolverine 2'

If you dug 'The Wolverine,' you should probably throw some confetti in the air right about now.

To no one's surprise, it looks like that the most popular X-Man will return for another solo film! According to Deadline, Twentieth Century Fox is negotiating with the director of The Wolverine, James Mangold, and, of course, Hugh Jackman, to give the admantium-laced hero another movie. We have no idea what the character's status will be after X-Men: Days of Future Past, but seeing as The Wolverine is the second highest grossing X-Men flick, it's understandable he'd be back for more.

The website states Mangold is negotiating to write the movie's treatment and Lauren Shuler Donner will producer. The Wolverine was inspired by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's mini-series, so what would you want to see the next movie inspired by? Could they find a way to make 'Enemy of the State' or even 'Old Man Logan' work now that Mark Millar is the creative consultant for Fox's movie properties? Could it link to X-Force? Anyhow, let us know below what you think of Mangold potentially directing again and what you'd like to see in Logan's next film!
