First Look At Wolverine & The X-Men & Uncanny X-Men First Issue Covers

As Marvel continues to roll out their own revamps of sort with several changes to the X-Men books, here is the first looks at Uncanny X-Men #1 and Wolverine & The X-Men #1. 

The Wolverine To Hit Theaters Soon

     Director Darren Aronofsky has revealed the title  for the next Wolverine movie starring Hugh Jackman. The movie will be called The Wolverine, will not be a direct sequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

      Aronofsky told HitFix that The Wolverine will be a "one-off," or standalone project. The script, written by Christopher McQuarrie, involves Logan beginning a forbidden romance with a Japanese woman whose hand in marriage is, unfortunately, promised to another man. Since Logan won't take "no" for an answer, it puts him into battle with her father and her samurai-sword-wielding brothers.

Who's Going To Direct Wolverine 2?

All though the Wolverine film was an entertaining mess of a movie I still think a Wolverine 2 is a good idea.  Let's just hope they get something right this time story wise.  But whose going to direct it?  According to deadline.com, Darren Aronofsky as one of two contenders to take the helm of  X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2. The other contender is one David Slade (of 30 Days of Night and Twilight Saga: Eclipse fame).
Aronofsky has reportedly been in conversations with Jackman, who he previously developed The Fountain with. Although he's not a bankable director for the studio to put on a big tentpole movie. Fox gambled on art-house director Gavin Hood for the first one and the results weren't so good. On the other hand if producer/star Jackman wants Aronofsky, he'll probably get him.  Deadline speculates that Slade is the more likely candidate given the blockbuster success of the Twilight movie.

Believing this was a planned hit by the city's drug lord he's been pursuing, Ray's brain injury leaves him five days before he dies to either track the killer, or be there for his little girl. Ray's clock is ticking!
