"That's kind of what we're looking at right now. A summer release would be great though. Perhaps that's possible. But some things still need to fall into place" said actor/producer Hugh Jackman to IGN Filmforce.

Screenwriter David Benioff has delivered the final draft of the script with Jackman's schedule and a director being the next things to lock down. There's also talk that some of the shoot will take place in Australia.

"I'm shooting a movie with Baz Luhrmann and Nicole Kidman next year in Australia, and then we plan to do Wolverine after that" says Jackman.

Jackman most definitely doesn't want an "X-Men 4" style movie - "I want it to feel like a very fresh, whole new character piece. I want it to be a character movie. And by the end of the movie, I want it to be that you definitely knew who this guy was..."

He adds "Cool action, great characters, but ultimately that you totally know who Wolverine is. Like Mad Max and Dirty Harry. Characters I loved. He's a good guy, but he's not a nice guy. He's just the guy you want on your side."
