‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Recruits Screenwriter Michael Green

The Wrap has the info. Originally, David James Kelly was announced as screenwriter for the film, when the release date was revealed in March 2014. We don’t know how much work Kelly did, or how much of that will be retained for Green’s script. In fact, there’s a lot we don’t know about this sequel, including precisely how it will fit in with the revised X-Men movie continuity that follows Days of Future Past.
Mangold was going to make this film after shooting The Deep Blue Good-by with Christian Bale starring. Bale, however, just tore his ACL, and so that film will be postponed long enough for him to heal. Consequently, Mangold will do the new Wolverine movie as his next film.
Wolverine, or whatever the film ends up being called, will be released on March 3, 2017.
