I still haven't seen Wolverine 1, and no one has suggested I'm even remotely missing out...
You aren't. The storyline is meh, some characters are just graphed on, and the wirework is atrocious. Let's not even talk about what they did to Deadpool.

They should have kept him out of the picture. If they can't do a villain right, (Bane, Venom, Deadpool) then don't put them in the film to try to appeal to fanbois. You just tick off the people that really do not care about them by lessening the charater of the other villains, and tick off the fanbois due to the fact that you did not get the character right.

Ok, there's not doing a villain right and then there's not even aiming in the general direction of the target.

X Men Origins: Wolverine 2?
Second most cumbersome movie title ever.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

The site also reports that Jackman's Avon Man departure is a likely indicator that he is prepping to step back into his Wolverine role for the sequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2. Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script for the sequel and, while no director has been attached as of yet, it was believed that Fox is getting the film ready to go into production next year.
Avon Man was scheduled to start shooting in October and the site indicated that producers have started reaching out to other actors to fill in for Jackman. They still plan on making their October start date for the film. Avon Man, which was written by Allan Loeb, centers on an auto salesman who, after getting laid off, swallows his pride and takes a job selling Avon door-to-door. He then rallies his struggling town and laid-off co-workers to join him to help win a regional sales competition.
It was also reported that Jackman could shoot the Civil Rights film Selma for director Lee Daniels before shooting X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2. Jackman would portray Sherrif Jim Clark, whose arrest of Martin Luther King sparks the Civil Rights movement. No production schedule has been set for the film, but it is believed to have secured funding through The Weinstein Company, Pathe and Skyline Pictures.
