Darren Aronofsky offered Wolverine 2

Reports are suggesting that arthouse director Darren Aaron Aronofsky (middle name may not be factual) has been officially offered the hot-seat for Wolverine 2. Wonder if Werner Herzog fancies Ghost Rider 2?

I had trouble entertaining the idea the first time it was reported, but Deadline are reporting that Wolverine 2 is Darren Aronofsky's "if he wants it". Earlier this week, the director was linked with the new Superman, but Zack Snyder clearly had better experience in slo-mo.

I bet there was a LOL in the Superman talks as well when Darren Aronofsky strode into the meeting with his super 'tache. I have a theory that anyone who looks and sounds as square as Darren Aronofsky is probably a badass pimp in real life (you know he be banging Rachel Weisz for reals) so maybe the idea of an indie-flavoured Wolverine sequel isn't too crazy. Dude could be a fantastic action director for all I know.

Or maybe D-MONEY just wants to get paid, son. Those solid gold grills won't diamond-encrust themselves.
