X-Men franchise co-producer Lauren Shuler Donner went on record today about how the vision for upcoming spin-offs is shaping up. On Wolverine 2: "Wolverine will be fighting in a different style to what we've seen before. Mariko's father has this stick-like weapon, so Wolverine will have to fight against that. There'll be samurai, ninja, katana blades, different forms of martial arts -- mano-a-mano, extreme fighting." And of the youthful X-Men: First Class: "We want it to be like the recent, darker Potters. It should not be a kiddie movie: We're in the X-Men world so you can't suddenly change the tone."
