Reports are spreading online that Naturi Naughton has landed the role of Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Wiki) in THE WOLVERINE. Kelly Hu is also reportedly returning as Yuriko/ Deathstrike. But Hu herself confirmed to Maximo that "I'm actually not in it. It's all over IMDB and everybody's talking about it, but nobody is contacting me."

Naughton's name popped up on the many time unreliable IMDB with Hu and Ken Wantanabe.

Take these castings with a big grain of salt for now.

Ryan Reynolds tells MTV that he hopes to get DEADPOOL going after he films the big-budget movie R.I.P.D. The busy actor confirmed the new film "[is] in development still." When asked if he would choose one role over the other, Reynolds confirmed his dedication to Deadpool, saying "No, not at all. Far from it."

Colossus had a meaty role in the early script.

An exclusive preview of XMenFilms' new original story THE XTREME.

Humans days are numbered.

Tell us about THE XTREME.

THE XTREME is a story that follows four "highly evolved" 20-somethings as they fight to save their world from destruction. A threat makes its presence known that puts the human population at risk. The Xtreme decide that they want to make a difference, and they'll try their hardest to save those who are not quite like them. It's an epic, adventurous and very emotional story with plenty of twists.

Do the X-Men make an appearance?

It's the ultimate X-Men story without the X-Men. The characters in this story are original, but it's a story that X-fans can easily connect with. There will be plenty of nods towards that world.

Which character is your favorite?

All the characters bring something special to the story. 'Chris' is the classic leader, with an insane power. 'Bee' is a firecracker. 'Marlee' is like a female Charles Xavier. And 'Unknown' is the most mysterious character out of the bunch. He's centuries old, but physically looks to be in his 20′s.

Who is the villian?

The villian is a threat that's literally out of this world, and The Xtreme are trying to find a way to save the day. It's much bigger than them. Their drive and determination is unbelievable and hopefully it pays off in the end.

Why is this called THE XTREME?

The story initially takes place in a neighborhood in New Orleans called Tremé and it has a critical role in the story. The Xtreme team themselves are based out of New York though.

Actress Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert) recently spoke to IGN about a potential sequel to X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, which garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike this Summer. As with most X-Men films, the principle cast has contracts/ options for additional films, should Fox decide to pursue them.

"Yeah, we all had to sign on for three, I believe. Well, I did anyway. But as of right now I have no idea if they're planning on doing another one." said Byrne. "But that was the idea depending on how it all went, I suppose. We'll see though. I loved working on it and loved working with the cast. I loved Matthew Vaughn. I also loved the style. The era and the fashion. And it was kind of kitsch-y and funny. It was a really fun and sophisticated superhero movie. I'm very proud of the film."

G4 premieres the English-language debut of the anime series WOLVERINE this Friday, July 29th at 11:30 p.m. ET! To celebrate, Marvel is giving you exclusive looks at the 12-episode series every day this week. Below is an exclusive clip featuring the voice of Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) as Logan.

An X-MEN anime starring Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Beast will premiere later this year.

The anime was inspired by the Chris Claremont/ Frank Miller comic book run that also inspired Hugh Jackman's upcoming THE WOLVERINE.

MTV recently caught up with THE WOLVERINE star and producer Hugh Jackman, who briefly spoke about choosing James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma) to direct after Darren Aronofsky left the project. "There were a number of directors who wanted to do this because we have the best script yet," said Jackman. "[Mangold's] take was the strongest. He's phenomenal [and] he's going to really knock this one out of the park.

And yes, the film is keeping its original title, says Jackman. "Darren wanted to call it 'The Wolverine' and I want to keep it because to me this is going to feel like THE Wolverine. This is the one that in 20 years time I want to say,'Check this out.'"

The film, with a script from Christopher McQuarrie, follows Logan as he treks Japan and falls in love with a woman whose hand has already been promised to another. The claws come out when Logan finds himself in an all-out battle after her father summons the Silver Sammurai and other powerful legends of the X-Men universe to take him out.

Production begins this October in the USA and Japan for a potential 2012 release. 20th Century Fox has yet to officially announce any specifics.

This weekend, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS brought in $335k from just 295 domestic theaters adding to its $144 million domestic total. Overseas has been very kind to the Matthew Vaughn-helmed flick, bringing in close to $203 million. With $347 million in worldwide box office, the film is just $3 million away from the coveted $350 million mark! Will the mutant prequel manage to reach that total in theaters before its September 9th Blu-ray and DVD release?

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS comes to stores on "First Class Friday" September 9th! Thanks to Amazon, we have a good look at the standard artwork designs for the DVD and Blu-ray.

Hugh Jackman gave fans an update about THE WOLVERINE movie during a surprise appearance at the San Diego Comic Con. "I'll be filming WOLVERINE 2 in October." said Jackman. "Christopher McQuarrie has written a fantastic script and it should turn out really good." The star revealed a villain that many fans have been waiting to see on the big screen…THE SILVER SAMURAI! "I'll fight the Silver Samurai in it so that should be exciting."

Filming is expected to take place in Japan for a possible 2012 release. 20th Century Fox has yet to officially announce a director or release date for the project, though 3:10 to Yuma's James Mangold is reportedly taking the reigns after Darren Aronofsky left the project.
