It was recently reported that Jessica Biel (the upcoming action-thriller "Total Recall") was in talks to join the cast of 20th Century Fox's "The Wolverine" but today news has emerged that the star has decided to pass on the project.

The studio and director James Mangold will now need to vet other candidates rather quickly to play Viper/Victoria/Madame Hydra against Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in the film.

Collider has reported that "inside sources" confirm that Beil has departed from the negotiations.

We will keep you updated as details on the project emerge.
