Silver Samurai Villain in Wolverine 2 Movie

In the next Wolverine movie, lead actor and Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, will be fighting a new villain — Silver Samurai.

The Wolverine 2 movie will be filmed in Japan as revealed during the Real Steel Comic Con Thursday.

Marvel describes Silver Samurai:

Keniuchio Harada is the mutant son of the former Japanese crimelord Shingen Harada. As a youth, Harada mastered the attendant disciplines of the medieval samurai and sought employment as a warrior for hire. Following his father’s death, Harada sought the leadership of Shingen’s Clan Yashida from his half-sister Mariko Yashida, but was opposed by the ronin Yukio and Mariko’s lover, the mutant adventurer Wolverine.

The sequel, tentatively titled The Wolverine will be directed by 3:10 to Yuma helmer James Mangold. No word yet on who they’ll cast to play Silver Samurai, but someone should probably pick up a phone and call Ken Watanabe.
