Exclusive The Wolverine Casting News

Coming Soon

Sources inside The Wolverine camp tell ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype that casting is starting to come together opposite Hugh Jackman in the 2013 summer tentpole movie. And we're psyched to hear that Fox is casting real Japanese actors in some of the key roles in the story based in Japan. The studio would not discuss details of these roles and continues to keep the plot under wraps, but it did confirm the following actors were cast and that more roles are expected to be filled shortly: (Cinema, Hal Yamanouchi, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rila Fukushima, Tao Okamoto, The Wolverine)

I'm glad we're finally seeing something on Wolverine. I know there are some that don't care but I do. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.

It would be nice if the movie actually has a Wolverine feel. The first one was too soft. And my mind is still reeling from what they did to Deadpool.

I like Wolverine and didn't have any issue with origins. This should be a decent action movie.

I hope they make it more in line with the other Marvel/X-Men movies.

Origins kinda destroyed anything Wolverine had.

I meant First Class destroyed Origins.

It's really nice to see an all Asian cast (minus Jackman, of course) headlining a summer blockbuster. It happens so rarely.

i hope this new wolverine movie will rebound from the first one. casting asian actors may or may not be a strong point. it really depends on the caliber of the actors they bring in. although if they hire asian actors to portray characters that are in asian in the comics it may be plus points on accuracy but it should be top notch actors. i know bane in the dark knight rises should be latino but they didnt follow much of it and the latino origins wont be brought up, in comparison to the upcoming wolverine movie the actor who might play silver samurai may be asian or not but at least the acting and portrayal should be convincing.
