Hugh Jackman has revealed that The Wolverine will be a standalone picture that is completely different to the X-Men movies that have come before it.

The actor is set to reprise the role of Logan in the movie, which comes four years after X-Men: Origins Wolverine.

The movie is due to be set in Japan and the actor admits that it will not be a movie full of mutants.

Speaking to Total Film the actor said: "We’ve deliberately not called it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and feel like a standalone picture.

"With an all-new cast and setting it in Japan, it’s going to give us a whole new visual aesthetic.

"The approach to character means we won’t be overloaded with mutants and teams and the like, so it’ll be more character-based. I think in many ways it will feel like a completely different X-Men film."

Filming is underway on the movie with James Mangold in the director's chair.

The Wolverine is due for a July 2013 release.
