Darren Aronofsky is no longer directing what will be a new stand-alone Wolverine film, featuring the character's time in Japan.
While reports say it is because Aronofsky does not want to commit to a job that keeps him away from his home and family for nearly a year, I suspect there's something more to it. (I'm surprised no one's yet theorized that the filmmakers may suddenly be steering clear of Japan what with all the ongoing turmoil there, creating a domino effect that has effectively halted production of the film.)
Aronofsky directing the world's favourite feral mutant felt too good to be true anyway, so really, I'm not that surprised. Just really disappointed. I was looking forward to finally getting one really great X-Men film.
Pessimistically (and because it's 20th Century Fox), I predict his replacement will be very underwhelming, as will the film.
And Japan could use some love right now.
What crap news.
