"He was treated totally wrong in the Wolverine film" she told Total Film. "And yes we will redeem him."
Donner said there is still a fair way to go before the film goes into production, explaining "We have a few more things to do, and then it's up to the studio whether we're going to move forward or not."
But Ryan Reynolds is still attached to play Wade Wilson should they get the green-light, and Donner sounds optimistic on that front, stating "I'm pretty excited. We have a good script and a good director."
As previously reported, that director is Tim Miller, the special effect wiz whose previous credits include X-Men and X2.
