Silver Samurai and the Hand are in Wolverine 2

Or at least, I think it’s safe to assume so based on leak information.

As reported at Bleeding Cool, a series of casting calls have been released for the new Wolverine film as revealed at Pajiba. Two particular casting calls are particularly noteworthy:

Shingen: Shingen’s father was the master of The Hand, an order of ninja. Instead of allowing his son to take leadership of the order, Shingen’s father killed himself and left the Hand without a master. This pretty much defines Shingen now. That’s how it works in these kinds of stories.

Kenuichio: Shingen’s illegitimate son, but not recognised as an heir. An expert Samurai, he will adopt his “Silver Samurai” guise in the movie and attack Logan “several times”.

So. Does this sound familiar? Do you think you can infer what’s going on here? Does the cover of the trade that I put in this article look slightly resonant in your memory spaces? Yes? Ok.

Well, then that’s that then! Darren Aranofsky, let’s see what you can do!

Now, if you listen really carefully at night, you may still hear from whispers on the wind a faint voice saying, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not as bad as everyone says it issss."
