Darren Aronofsky To Direct ‘Machine Man,’ What Does It Mean For ‘Wolverine 2?’

So with Aronofsky’s Wolverine 2 set to start filming in March 2011 and him having to promote the release of Black Swan throughout the Winter, what does Machine Man mean for the Marvel mutant? We decipher the clues after the jump.
No matter when Machine Man comes out, though, it certainly sounds like something right up the alley of the man behind Pi, Requiem For A Dream and The Wrestler. Here’s the premise, according to Variety:
With his each of his previous films up to Black Swan, which I haven’t seen, Aronofsky told intimate stories about people trying to better themselves in very specific worlds. However, they keep running into self-imposed road blocks along the way. Machine Man seems to be more of that, just maybe with a little more action. And, if he does direct the film after Wolverine 2, action won’t be a problem.
A gadget geek and engineer working at a forward-thinking tech firm decides to systematically replace his weaker fleshy parts with high-end titanium performance upgrades of his own design. But he isn’t the only one with plans for his superior parts.
Do you think it’s beneficial that Machine Man happen after Wolverine 2? And have any of you read Barry’s novel? If so, please let us know about it in the comments.
