Vulture says the decision will now come down to a choice made by star Hugh Jackman. The studio has reportedly approved both men as director, and next week Jackman will meet with them, after which a decision will be made. Vulture quotes a source saying that David Slade will most likely get the job.

Whoever gets the gig will direct Jackman in a story based in part on the classic Wolverine mini-series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. The story sees Wolverine in Japan, where he falls for a Japanese woman who has been promised to someone else. Conflict ensues with her father, and Wolverine has to fight off a host of sword-wielding enemies.
