UPDATED: "Wolverine" to hit theaters in 2007?

by: Average Joe

Fox announces the spin-off would hit theaters next year.

Superherohype! has posted an article saying that 20th Century Fox has announced that the Wolverine spin-off would hit theaters in 2007.

The promise of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine headlining a spinoff of 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men” franchise next year was a highlight of Day 2 here at Cine Expo.

20th Century Fox promised the gathered exhibitors a Jackman starrer titled “Wolverine” for next year and Jackman himself sent the show a taped promise to back up the news.

So I guess we can add Wolverine to the list of comic-inspired movies like Spider-Man 3, Fantastic Four 2, and Ghost Rider all hitting in 2007.

UPDATE: The trade has now updated its article and has removed any mention of a 2007 release.
