Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky is now a contender to direct X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, according to Deadline New York.We reported on Friday that directors David Slade and Robert Schwentke were in the running to direct the superhero sequel, but now Deadline New York is reporting that Robert Schwentke has dropped out of the race, with Darren Aronofsky stepping in as a potential director.
David Slade is still considered the favorite to direct X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, but star Hugh Jackman does have a lot of clout on the project and could very well side with Darren Aronofsky, whom he worked with on The Fountain.
The site is also reporting that Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman is currently in talks with Warner Bros. to direct their upcoming sequel Clash of the Titans 2. We reported back in June that Jonathan Liebesman was one of the directors being considered to replace original Clash of the Titans director Louis Leterrier, and now the studio seems to be moving in that direction. Our original report from June indicated that Warner Bros. was eyeing a January 2011 start date for Clash of the Titans 2, but that date may change.
We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further information on both X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 and Clash of the Titans 2 as soon as more information comes in.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Hugh Jackman.
Clash of the Titans 2 comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Sam Worthington.
