Christopher McQuarrie, the man behind the complex, twist filled crime thriller The Usual Suspects, is writing the screenplay. The origins story will star Hugh Jackman as Wolverine dealing with ninjas in medieval Japan. This sounds like a fantastic mix and could potentially help Wolverine 2 avoid the usual hollywood comic book superhero cliches."
