Speaking to Screenrant, Christopher McQuarrie talked about his original script for The Wolverine and wanting to do more superhero films:
You know, Bryan and I have talked about it a bunch of times – and in fact, right after I got back from shooting [Jack Reacher] I had a meeting with Tom Rothman – just a general meeting – and I said to Tom, 'You know what I'd really love to do, is I'd really love to flesh out the X-Men Universe for you. You have this great wealth of these Marvel characters, and the X-Men franchise has only focused on a small handful of them – there's many more.
Kyle Roberts (via Buzzfeed) recreated the X-Men 90s cartoon intro in stop-motion. And it's awesome.Mark Millar talked a bit about The Wolverine on his website (via Superhero Hype), he also talked Best Movies of 2012:
Looking forward to: In 2013? Kick-Ass 2. There can be only one. Also buzzed about Superman and – the big surprise, I think – The Wolverine. The script is amazing and Mangold is such a brilliant director. Seen the first 10 mins and it looks like David Lean doing a superhero movie. This the one that's going to surprise people. This and First Class were Year Zero for the Fox Marvel movies as far as I'm concerned.
