Sequel
? I won?t lie to you, I have been talking to writers? I?m a big fan of the Japanese saga in the comic book. ?
? Hugh Jackman[113]
Hood speculated that there will be a sequel, which will be set in Japan.[48] During the end credits scene Logan is seen drinking at a bar in Japan. Such a location was the subject of Claremont and Miller's series, which was not in the first film as Jackman felt ?what we need to do is establish who [Logan] is and find out how he became Wolverine".[39] Jackman stated the Claremont-Miller series is his favorite Wolverine story.[114] Of the Japanese arc, Jackman also stated that:
? ..there are so many areas of that Japanese story, I love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world - I can see it aesthetically, too - full of honor and tradition and customs and someone who?s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way. The idea of the samurai, too - and the tradition there. It?s really great. This sequel may include the Silver Samurai and Lady Deathstrike, the latter's character having made an appearance in X-Men 2 played by Kelly Hu. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai - not even mutants. He?s shocked by that at first.[113] ?
He added another Wolverine film would be a follow-up rather than continuing on from X-Men: The Last Stand.[115] The inclusion of Deadpool and Gambit also leads to the possibilities of their own spin-offs.[116] Before Wolverine's release, Lauren Shuler Donner approached Simon Beaufoy to write the script, but he did not feel confident enough to commit.[117] On May 5, just two days after its initial weekend run, the sequel was officially confirmed.[118] A Deadpool spin-off has also been confirmed with Ryan Reynolds attached to reprise the role of Wade Wilson.[119]
