The Wolverine loses Jessica Biel as The Viper
There is no word on what caused the negotiations to end, although 20th Century Fox is already looking at other actresses to fill the role, since shooting is scheduled to begin next month in Australia. Hugh Jackman is returning as the title character, and we also reported last week that Will Yun Lee has signed on as The Silver Samurai, and Brian Tee is playing Noboru Mori.
James Mangold is directing from a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback. We reported in April that shooting will take place in Australia for interior sound stage shots, before moving to Japan for exterior work.
The Wolverine comes to theaters July 26th, 2013 and stars Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Will Yun Lee, Brian Tee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima. The film is directed by James Mangold.

@thedude-abides -- Exactly, which is why I wouldn't count this as an actual loss.
