The follow-up to the box office hit will be inspired by a samurai storyline from Marvel's X-Men comic books, reports Variety.
The superhero sequel is one of several projects Jackman's Seed firm has set up with Fox. Also on the Australian actor's plate are Personal Security, a thriller about a cop who acts as a bodyguard to a teen heiress; race car drama Drive, which Jackman has likened to a Steve McQueen film; and Carousel, a big screen adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.
Jackman is also eyeing a return to Broadway in 2010, leading the cast of Danny Elfman-scored musical Houdini.
