Fox knows Kelly from their aborted attempts to reboot the Daredevil franchise before the rights reverted back to Marvel. He won't have to worry about that happening with The Wolverine 2, which Deadline seems confident Hugh Jackman will return for. The studio has also set Kelly to adapt Matt Kindt's comic book, Mind Management.
The Wolverine's storyline was a completely stand-alone effort, only bridging to X-men: Days of Future Past through a post credits sequence. We'll see if that's the direction they go again or if we'll see a closer relationship with the other X-titles.
