Coming off “Prey” and “Predator: Badlands,” filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg is reportedly in talks to write and direct a post-“Avengers: Secret Wars” MCU film.
The report originates from The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez so has some decent sourcing. They claim it’s a theatrical run film with a single character focus as opposed to an ensemble piece.
They stipulate it’s only talks, not a deal. It could be the previously announced “Nova” film, but chatter is already stirring that it will be a “Wolverine” movie with likely a new actor in the role to replace now 58-year-old Hugh Jackman.
Jackman is expected to appear in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” with the Australian actor revealed the other day to be one of ten people credited by the WGA for contributions to the film’s script.
The film is still likely some time off as Marvel’s three 2028 films set with Jake Schreier’s “X-Men” on May 5th 2028, Shawn Levy’s “Ghost Rider” on July 28th 2028 and Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther III” on December 15th 2028.
That X-Men film reportedly isn’t expected to include Wolverine as a character.
