Sources Say Cyber is Lead Villain in Wolverine 2 Sequel
Talk about turning the Wolverine movie into its own franchise is already starting, and insiders are spilling detailed information, such as, Cyber being the lead villain in Wolverine 2.
Trusted insiders have told Cinema Blend that Fox isn't waiting to see what the box office brings. They have an quasi-religious faith in X-Men Orgins: Wolverine and are banking that it is going to payoff as a franchise--focused on the berserker mutant.
Hugh Jackman has already said he be willing to take the role on as long as the fans want him to, and it looks like he'll get his chance. The unnamed source, said to have along history as a reliable scooper regarding Fox projects, told Cinema Blend that...
"Fox isn't waiting around to see how the solo movie performs. They're already in talks to make multiple Wolverine sequels happen, and they're tossing around story ideas for the almost inevitable Wolverine 2. Word is that the character they're hoping to use as the villain of Wolverine 2 is someone named Cyber. In the X-Men universe, he's sort of like Wolverine's equal and opposite. Like Wolverine he's Canadian and possesses most of the same powers as Wolverine. He has an Adamantium skin, claws, mutant healing ability, and so on. The villain of the first movie, Liev Schreiber, may also be back for the sequel as Sabretooth; but if they're bringing in Cyber then he obviously won't be the only villain."
Also leaked was the interesting info that Fox plans to have Hugh Jackman (as Wolvie) show up in X-Men: First Class in order to launch that franchise with a bang.
Obviously we don't have to warn CBM readers to take this early spoiler with salt, but CB says its source is solid, so let the gushing begin! Stay tuned right here for the latest.
Wolverine 2 Plans And Hugh Jackman In X-Men: First Class!
Hugh Jackman has already talked about his willingness to keep playing the character of Wolverine as long as fans want him, but until now there's been no talk of actually turning his upcoming Wolvy solo movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine into a full-fledged, Wolverine based franchise. Tonight though I talked a bit with one of Cinema Blend's most reliable, proven scoopers who had tons of information for us on what Fox may be planning for Wolverine's future.
According to our source, Fox isn't waiting around to see how the solo movie performs. They're already in talks to make multiple Wolverine sequels happen, and they're tossing around story ideas for the almost inevitable Wolverine 2. Word is that the character they're hoping to use as the villain of Wolverine 2 is someone named Cyber. In the X-Men universe, he's sort of like Wolverine's equal and opposite. Like Wolverine he's Canadian and possesses most of the same powers as Wolverine. He has an Adamantium skin, claws, mutant healing ability, and so on. The villain of the first movie, Liev Schreiber, may also be back for the sequel as Sabretooth; but if they're bringing in Cyber then he obviously won't be the only villain.
But wait, there's more! Two weeks ago Fox announced they'd be launching a new X-Men related movie franchise based on Mutant students and Professor Xavier's school. They're calling it X-Men: First Class and it will push a fresh group of young mutant characters. To get them off on the right foot, our source says Fox plans to have Hugh Jackman show up in the film with some sort of Wolverine cameo. Makes sense. Hugh seems willing to play Wolverine wherever and whenever anyone wants him, and if you're Fox what better way to launch a new mutant franchise then with the help of your most popular mutant X-Men character.
It's still very early and things can change, but this comes from an inside source who has already given us tons of proven information. It's a safe bet that at the least, this is the direction Fox is headed with the franchise. We'll let you more as it develops.
