Benioff on Wolverine and the X-Men spin off

An interview has been posted on Wizard Online with ‘Wolverine’ scribe David Benioff, who gave some juicy new details of what to expect in the X-Men spin-off feature.

Benioff admits that his favourite stories from the comics were “Chris Claremont and Frank Miller miniseries, and the Barry Windsor-Smith Weapon X.” These story elements are likely to be incorporated in the film.

In the project we will see Wolverine’s first ties to Weapon X, his time in Vietnam, his first run-in with Victor Creed (Sabretooth), a love interest, his bonding with adamantium and fellow mutants like John Wraith and The Blob.

When talking about his early-year comic book connections to Japan, he said, “[The Japan connection] is still something we really want to do. What we need to do is establish who he is and find out how he became Wolverine. And by the end of the movie, I want it to be that you definitely knew who this guy was, like Mad Max and Dirty Harry. He’s a good guy, but he’s not a nice guy. He’s just the guy you want on your side.”
