Fox Unleashes The Wolverine For July 2013

It's official HeatVision reports 20th Century Fox has set July 13th 2013 as the release date for The Wolverine. The stand alone film that features our favorite Canadian mutant is expected to go into production this spring/summer. James Mangold (3:10 To Yuma) directs the film with a script by Christopher McQuarrie (Usual Suspects) and Mark Romanek (Total Recall). The film is a priority at Fox which makes sense considering how well First Class and the indie Chronicle have performed. The film's villains are expected to be Silver Samurai, The Yakuza, Viper and the ninja clan The Hand.
