As for Marco Beltrami, who is just starting to write music for “The Wolverine” — the fifth cinema outing for Hugh Jackman as the mysterious, long-clawed “X-Men” character — he says “there are definitely expectations, just with the nature of the project. But it’s fun to play with those expectations.”
Even though the story takes place in Japan, “musically, it’s not going to be overtly Japanese because it could easily fall into cliche,” Beltrami says. He does plan on using traditional Japanese instruments (including the koto and massive taiko drums) but “in a non-traditional way,” he adds.
Director James Mangold (with whom Beltrami worked on “3:10 to Yuma,” which earned the composer his first Oscar nomination) “has made a real original movie here, so there is room for a less traditional score, less of a cookie-cutter musical orientation.” He will record in L.A. at the end of May.

According to Amazon UK, Sony Classical is doing the CD release.

It seems that Sony likes the sales of the X-Men scores and wants to keep it on their own label. I'm guessing that First Class sold well (I know it got mixed reviews here, but I really enjoyed the score). I'm wondering how well The Wolverine will sell... Beltrami is probably about as well-known, but his style is quite different than Jackman's. Unless of course the director tells him to go for the same musical approach.
Fox has a great relationship with Sony Music, that's why most of their new titles have been on that label for the past year or so.
Prometheus
Die Hard POS
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Epic
Life of Pi
etc. . .

Can't come soon enough!
Although the score hasn't even been recorded yet...
I do hope nothing substantial will be missing then. I remember Tomorrow Never Dies and The Mummy Returns soundtracks missed the music from the climax because the soundtrack had to be in stores in time
