The Wolverine shooting down under

It’s been awhile since we’ve had any hard news on The Wolverine — with some outlets even speculating that the movie could be getting shelved — but now we finally have some.

The Telegraph reports that the X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel is set to film this year in Sydney, Australia.

“The Wolverine is expected to generate more than $80 million in production expenditure in NSW and create more than 720 jobs for NSW-based cast and crew, along with opportunities for 1200 extras,” said Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner.

Some production work is also expected to occur in the U.S.
