During an interview at MTV’s Teen Choice Awards, Hugh Jackman confirmed that the next “Wolverine” movie will take place in Japan. Jackman said the following:
Japan is where we’re heading, [and] we’re starting to work on it now. We’re in the…first steps of developing that story.
That story, being Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s story arc from the comics which consisted of four issues that were published back in 1982. In this arc, Wolverine travels to Japan to search after his love, Mariko Yashida, only to find her married to a businessman and involved with a ninja clan called The Hand. Sharing his thoughts on the adaptation, Jackman had this to say:
I think the fans love that saga. It’s my favorite saga of the Wolverine stories.
