Darren Aronofsky Set to Direct 'Wolverine 2' Starting in March

After being shortlisted to potentially direct The Man of Steel before the job went to Zack Snyder, director Darren Aronofsky had quite the decision to make. We heard the filmmaker had been offered Tales from the Gangster Squad as a consolation prize from Warner Bros, but apparently 20th Century Fox was quick to offer him another superhero in the form of the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Though it has been up in the air for the past couple weeks, Deadline has word that while Aronofsky's deal isn't totally official yet, negotiations are to the point that it's a guarantee that he'll be working with Hugh Jackman again for the comic book sequel.
