That’s huge news for fan boys and girls everywhere. Is anyone else wondering what the “More to come” might be? It’s got to be a confirmation of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, the character plays such a huge part of the story line that there is no way the character could be written out and legions of fans will tell you, no one but Jackman should play the role.
