"I guess I don't do genre very well," trippy filmmaker Darren Aronofsky recently admitted to MTV. Naturally, then, 20th Century Fox wants the filmmaker behind Black Swan and The Fountain to be a director for hire on Wolverine 2. No, really! Aronofsky joins the still in-contention David Slade as a contender for the gig, and it might not be quite as weird a choice as you think -- after all, at one point Aronofsky wanted to direct a Batman film. But no, it's still pretty weird. [Deadline]
