"Japan is where we're heading, [and] we're starting to work on it now. We're in the... first steps of developing that story."

Hugh Jackman announced that he would like the film's sequel to focus on the movie's co-writers Frank Miller and Chris Claremont's story arc of the hero learning Eastern philosophy and fighting skills.

"I think the fans love that saga. It's my favourite saga of the Wolverine stories. That's a movie I've longed to make from the beginning, so that's where we're heading."
