Hugh Jackman briefly talks 'Wolverine' sequel

Gavin Hood's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" proved to be quite successful at the box office after pulling almost $180 million domestically, so it's no surprise that a sequel to the action film is already in development. In fact, talks for "Wolverine 2" already emerged last year.

Last thing we heard Hugh Jackman was already all set to return as the title character, and now the actor has briefly updated his fans on where they are with "Wolverine 2."

At the Teen Choice Awards, where "Wolverine" took home a prize, Jackman mentioned Logan will be heading to Japan in the sequel.

"Japan is where we're heading, [and] we're starting to work on it now. We're in the ... first steps of developing that story," he told MTV backstage.

Sure, just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true (does Gary Oldman's recent "Batman 3" talk ring a bell?), but in case Jackman is right, Wolverine will indeed be on his way to Japan.

In that case, the sequel will be based on the series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, which was published in 1982. Jackman said, "I think the fans love that saga. It's my favorite saga of the Wolverine stories."
