Mike Truman had this to say on the project :

“It’s great to be working on such an exciting film for Harry, Chris and I are both fans of the X-Men trilogy and all I can say is that this is going to be a monster of a film. It’s been really challenging and inspiring and we’re really looking forward to seeing the completed film when it gets released on May the 1st.”

The film follows the gruff, steel clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine as he strikes out on his own in this X-Men spin off series. The film is set up as an origin tale for the character and will find him sharing the screen with X-Men characters Deadpool, Gambit, John Wraith, Victor Creed/Sabretooth and Col. William Stryker. Academy Award winning director Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) films a screenplay penned by Troy scribe David Benioff (Troy). Daniel Henney and Lost’s Dominic Monaghan round out the supporting cast.
