Director James Mangold took to Twitter Saturday to announce that he is officially returning to Fox Studios to direct the sequel to last year’s The Wolverine. The film will begin production following 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse so we can expect the next solo film featuring everyone’s favorite mutant as early as 2017. Mangold is also developing the treatment for the film.
