Just a week ago, director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) referred to what was thought to be the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a “one-off,” and emphasized that the film isn’t a sequel in any conventional sense. He also confirmed that the official title for the film will be simply, The Wolverine.

Now, Dave Poland over at MCN got a chance to speak with Aronofsky about directing the upcoming Hugh Jackman film and why he’s doing it. Check out the video interview below!
