Jackman Confirms Wolverine 2
Mon, August 10, 2009 
He read the reviews...I doubt guest-stars on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit endured the kind of raping that X-Men Origins: Wolverine got at the beginning of this summer. I didn't hate the film per say. It was just a big piece of "Meh!" Then again, the filmmakers had a Helluva lot more time to get this one right after X-Men: The Last Stand. So I guess they had it coming with the same half-assed approach.
Of course, Wolverine was still able to gross $350 million mostly on the popularity of the first two Bryan Singer directed films, the popularity of the character and Jackman himself. So while any chance of additional spin-offs featuring X-Babies or Magneto have most likely evaporated. A Wolverine sequel is still highly probable - despite the fact that the general public and nerds alike hated it.
Logan himself Hugh Jackman confirms to who else but MTV that they're in the "first steps of developing that story." And by "that story," he refers to the fan-favorite Chris Claremont-written and Frank Miller-pencilled mini-series back from 1982. A time when a character like Wolverine getting a comic-book all to himself was considered a big deal.
Will audiences be willing to give the X-Men franchise a third chance now after being disappointed the last two times? All signs point to "highly fuckin doubtful!" But then again, that may just be me speaking for everyone.

a lower budget and it should be R.
you can not have a character with sharp claws and no blood. thats just wrong.
Sigh, yes they will. Inconceivably to me, plenty of people enjoyed the film.
I didn't love Wolverine, nor did I hate it. It was just kind of meh. If part 2 is made I'll hope for the best
