Wolverine Goes from Sad Bastard to Cigar-Chomping Badass in the New ‘Wolverine’ Trailer

Wolverine Scratches His Balls in the New 'Wolverine' Trail

I'm sure there will be a few twists and surprises, but it sure seems like the new trailer for The Wolverine pretty much lays out the entire story arc of the upcoming film.

It starts off with Wolverine all sad and tormented because he still misses Jean Grey. So he goes to Japan to find himself or something, like you do, and while there he meets a tiny female samurai and a guy who sounds like that other guy from Inception and claims he can make Wolverine mortal—you know, so he can end his suffering and whatnot. However, in the end, Wolverine starts acting like a superhero again instead of the lead singer of a whiney emo band. (Though he still has that emo hair.)

And boom, that's the movie. The only reason you still need to go see it in the theater? The fight scenes, obviously. Especially the one with the giant robot samurai. That looks pretty epic.

The Wolverine hits theaters July 26, 2013.

Why I May Actually Be Excited for ‘The Wolverine’

Grrrr

EW recently released these new 'Wolverine' photos 10 Photos »

Well this is certainly a surprise. I hated X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Like, hated hated. Like beyond X-Men: The Last Stand hated. I thought it was everything wrong with comic book movies, had crummy effects and dialogue and looked like it was directed and shot by my nephew with an iPhone. So then why am I suddenly looking forward to The Wolverine? Well, to be perfectly honest, first and foremost I think it's that ridiculous poster you can see above.

Isn't that the most ridiculous, bat-shit crazy thing you've ever seen? Like, what the hell were they thinking? It's gone past bad though, into some kind of realm of pop art. I feel like a physicist who finds one of those particles that shouldn't exist, but it does. It's fucking madness. Which means maybe the movie is too? Maybe this really is just a super crazy, genre-defining ninja movie. And that sounds kind of awesome. Read More » »

‘The Wolverine’ Motion Poster Shows More Storyline Hints

By Logan Rhoades | December 14, 2012 @ 10:22 am

As we've mentioned before, The Wolverine will be taking place in Japan, where Logan fights a mysterious villain from his past that has lasting consequences, but the new promo poster hints at a more samurai-influenced Wolverine than fans originally anticipated.

Although not much else is known about the premise of the movie, The Wolverine appears to be taking a different angle on the superhero story arc by going more dark and gritty. The biggest difference is most notably the katana, which is not a weapon attached to Hugh Jackman for a change, further suggesting that director James Mangold is determined to make this film stand alone. The movie is based on the 1982 miniseries by Frank Miller, which revolved around Wolverine taking on the underground Japanese crime lord. And while the visual component of the promo poster certainly draws comparison to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, this sequel will most likely be a breath of fresh air for X-Men fans.

We all know that Logan will be taking a trip to Japan to meet up with an old enemy from his past in The Wolverine. Along the way, he'll come across a bevy of foes including mythical ninja warriors who will stop at nothing to bring him down.

It's still a long way off before we'll see The Wolverine hit theaters. To tide us all over, though, are these new set photos that show off Hugh Jackman as Logan battling off his masked foes in a snowy village. Obviously a video might've done a better job at showing off the fierce fight scene between the Wolverine and the ninjas, but until then, these photos will have to do. Read More » »

New ‘Wolverine’ Poster Plus a Live Chat with Hugh Jackman Straight from the Set (VIDEO)

Hugh Jackman Has a Lot to Say About 'Wolverine'

Wolverine is getting all the attention--and all the action--these days. 20th Century Fox has followed his story and has featured his character prominently in most of the X-Men movies. He already got his own spin-off movie with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and he's got another one slated for a 2013 release with The Wolverine.

That's probably why Hugh Jackman is in no hurry to shave off his signature sideburns. He recently sat down with director James Mangold for a live chat, and the duo talked extensively about The Wolverine and where they were going with it. You can view the whole live chat in its entirety in the video above, but it's extremely long, so you've been warned.

Sequel Talk: What’s Up with ‘Wolverine’, ‘Hangover 3′, and the 24th James Bond Movie

Sequel Talk: What's Up with 'The Wolverine'

View the Gallery / 3 Photos »

So far, we know that a part of The Wolverine will be taking place in Japan, where Logan encounters a foe from his past. Many people assumed that this would be another prequel of sorts featuring Wolverine, but director James Mangold recently revealed that this would not be the case. It's pretty puzzling, partly because a new photo of Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine was published in Empire Magazine with his bone claws. You might recall a certain scene in X-Men Origins: Wolverine where Stryker pumped adamantium into Wolverine, resulting in the latter's adamantium-laced claws. Read More » »

New Set Photos from ‘The Wolverine’ Features Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper and More

We got our first look at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine a couple of weeks ago and while the updates are slow on the home front, this series of photos from the movie's Sydney, Australia set gives us all more than what we originally bargained for.

We get a couple of choice shots of Jackman walking around with a shaven mug, which was a stark difference from all the scruff that he sported when production first began. In these series of photos, we get our first look at Svetlana Khodchenkova as the Viper. She won't exactly be the best of friends with Wolverine, but damn, she's a looker. Jessica Biel was originally cast to play Viper but negotiations broken down and Svetlana stepped in right on time.

Aside from the Viper, we also see Rila Fukushima as Yukio for the first time in the second part of the gallery.

The Wolverine doesn't hit theaters until July 26th of next year, which is still a long way off. But expect more images, clips, and promotional material to hit in the coming months as premiere night draws closer. Enjoy!
