Posted 04.27.12 by Ryan From the post-credits sequence in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it was clear that Hugh Jackman was heading to Japan for the sequel. Back in 2009, Jackman said "Japan is where we're heading" for The Wolverine, and revealed that the movie would be based on the classic 1982 Marvel Comics limited series by writer Chris Claremont and artist Frank Miller, which was set primarily in the Land of the Rising Sun.
While the movie will still be set in Japan, it was announced last week that the production would move to Fox Studios Australia facilities in Sydney, implying that Australia would have to be dressed to look like Japan. Luckily, that isn't entirely true. At CinemaCon, Fox chairman and CEO Tom Rothman told MTV that Japan is still in the mix for The Wolverine.
