"Cinescape Online reported a rumor that Underworld helmer Len Wiseman has been asked to direct Wolverine, a spinoff of the X-Men movies. David Benioff (Troy) has been asked to write the screenplay for the film, which will center on Hugh Jackman's character from the Marvel Comics films.
The site offered no further information on Wiseman's role, whether he was the only director approached or whether he's accepted the job. Wiseman is currently directing Underworld 2, the sequel to his 2003 vampires-vs.-werewolves movie, starring his wife, Kate Beckinsale.
The Xmenfilms.net Web site, meanwhile, reported that neither Wolverine nor a reported Magneto film will be completed before a third X-Men movie. Citing an anonymous source at 20th Century Fox, the site reported that finishing a third X-Men film is the studio's top priority. The third installment in the franchise came into question when X-Men director Bryan Singer dropped out to helm a new Superman Returns movie for Warner Brothers; Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is rumored to be in line to write and direct the third X-Men.
The studio reportedly included Halle Berry's character, Storm, in the script for the third film, though Berry is not expected to reprise the role.
The studio is set on getting X-Men 3 out for a 2006 release, the site reported."
