Hugh Jackman has confirmed that he’s started work on a second Wolverine film.

Speaking to MTV News US backstage at the Teen Choice Awards the Aussie Hunk told us:

“Japan is where we're heading, (and) we're starting to work on it now. We're in ... the first steps of developing that story.”

A sequel to Jackman’s first X Men Origins movie was announced back in May but until now fans could only speculate about where the story would take place.

The flick will be based around X Men comics from the 1980s co-written by Sin City creator Frank Miller where Wolverine battles ninjas and samurais.

Hugh said: “I think the fans love that saga. It's my favorite saga of the Wolverine stories. That's a movie I've longed to make from the beginning, so that's where we're heading.”
