Hugh Jackman: 'The Wolverine has more ladies'

Hugh Jackman has said that The Wolverine will feature more female characters.

The Real Steel star revealed that he is looking forward to shooting Wolverine's next adventure, saying that he cannot wait to take the character to Japan.

"This time, more than anything, I think we've really nailed down that character," Jackman told Collider. "I think the audience and myself and the writers were like, 'Enough of the [missing] memory... I think we've explored that a lot."

He continued: "Now, it's this great backdrop of Japan, which is going to be fantastic for this character. It's a very rich source material with the comic book. And, there's more ladies in this movie, which is a nice change from the last one. It was very testosterone heavy."

Jackman recently opened up about why the original screenplay for The Wolverine is being rewritten, claiming director James Mangold has ordered a reworking of the script.

The actor is currently on track to begin shooting Les Misérables early next year.
