Earlier this week we reported about a potential delay for Wolverine, the X-Men spin-off. The studio denied that the movie will be delayed, and now there suddenly appears to be progress on the film, with a major piece of leaked casting news.

Wolverine will follow the early adventures of Hugh Jackman’s character, exploring his mysterious back story. As fans of the X-Men know, a big part of Wolvie’s background involves a love story with a woman known as Silver Fox. The two live in a cabin in the Canadian Rockies until she is eventually killed by Sabretooth. We know the movie plans to make use of Sabretooth, so it only makes sense that Silver Fox will be used as well.

According to IESB, Maggie Q (Live Free or Die Hard) is in talks to play Silver Fox. In fact, she may very well be cast, although confirmation isn’t exactly readily accessible with this being a holiday week.

There’s no doubt, Maggie Q would be a very cool addition to the cast. Depending on how true they stay to Wolverine’s established canon, this could be quite an interesting part, as Silver Fox plays a big part in the “Weapon X” project that transforms Wolverine into the killing machine he is today.
