Recent reports have indicated that Jessica Biel was offered the part of Viper. She then went on record to say that it wasn't a done deal that she may star in James Mangold's upcoming movie The Wolverine which is based off the comic book storyline by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.
Collider is now reporting that Jessica Biel's negotiations with 20th Century Fox are no longer happening and that the studio is now persuing other actresses to play the part of "Viper" in the upcoming movie The Wolverine. Shooting is expected to start for the movie next month. Hugh Jackman has already prepared plans to stay in Austrailia during filming, whilst Will Yun Lee has been cast as the Silver Samurai. Be sure to stay tuned right here at ComicBookMovie as more casting news and set photos should appear this summer.
The Wolverine is scheduled for release on July 26, 2013.
