These past few days, many sites (including MTV Splash Page and Deadline) have speculated and alluded to David Slade taking over from Darren Aronofsky on The Wolverine. Why have they been doing this? Well, as I'm sure you know, Slade was believed to be one of the frontrunners to helm the movie before Aronofsky was chosen, and the fact that production is so much further along than it is on Daredevil has led many to believe Fox might even switch the directors!

Well, not according to David Slade:





What's interesting though, is whether he means that he was NEVER in talks to direct The Wolverine or has not been asked since Aronofsky pulled out. Either way, I'd say that this is definitive proof that the next comic book movie we'll be seeing from the 30 Days of Night director is Daredevil. Unless he pulls out too of course.
