Fox has announced the X-Men movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine has a production schedule ready and a release date of Summer 2009. Originally scheduled for release in 2008, dates needed to be changed due to the Writer’s Guild strikes.
Due to go into production early 2008 (assuming the strike has been resolved), its due to hit theaters on May 1, 2009 and will be directed by Gavin Hood (Rendition, Tsotsi).
The movies will follow Wolverine's violent and romantic past, and his complex relationship with Victor Creed (Sabretooth) and the Weapon X program, as well as his encounters with other mutants. No other characters have been announced, but the Weapon X program would suggest the appearance of Maverick, Wraith, and Silver Fox.
The full cast has not as yet been announced, but Hugh Jackman is definitely reprising his role as the main character. Brian Cox and Maggie Q(further evidence of the appearance of Silver Fox perhaps?) are also rumoured to be involved.
There are also rumours that the studio is working on another X-Men spin-off about the origins of Magneto.
