Benioff's script outline for Wolverine :-
Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately signs up and goes through the mutant Weapon X program.
As of October 15, 2006, the script is finished, and Hugh Jackman indicates there will be a year before shooting. He has denied rumours that it will be based on Chris Claremont's and Frank Miller's Wolverine limited series.
“We've now signed off on the script. If you know about the history of the X-Men movies, that's a revolution for us. We're a year away from shooting the film and we have the script," Jackman said.
Finally, while the story is definitely a prequel, it won’t be using the elements of the Japanese tale that recent comics have focused on after Logan’s origin story. “At present, no. That is still something we really want to do. What we need to do is establish who he is and find out how he became Wolverine," Jackman explained.
Oh, and he’s interested in a sequel too!
