hugh jackman always gets so terrifying for wolverine, at least he takes it seriously.

[vagus]

The older he gets the more wolverine he looks. Don't really see anyone else playing Logan. Marvel just needs the right script and director.

This.

You can't say Jackman isn't taking it seriously but the script? A whole other can 'o worms.

Unfortunately Marvel has nothing to do with this movie, it's all Fox. If Marvel got the rights back to Wolverine and the X-Men, it would be the most mind-blowing shit you ever saw.

Fuck you Hugh Jackman and whoever the fuck your personal trainer is.

[Hirronimus]

You mean airbrush?

[Lexa]

Hugh Jackman's love for Wolverine is honestly one of the few reasons I haven't completely given up on this. He loves Wolverine and he loves playing Wolverine so damn much, it shows (and also makes the contrast to the shit scripts/filmmaking that much greater).

[Hatedregret]

Yeah... he doesn't need airbrush all that much, though I'm not denying that poster has it.

[vagus]

It's hugh's excuse to hit the gym. Lok

RUMOR

I'm going to start this article off with a SPOILER ALERT because I don't want anyone to get pissed at me for not doing so. There's no confirmation of this rumor, but there's always a chance it could be true. So, for those of you who don't want to know what X-Men character and actor from the previous films might show up in The Wolverine then don't read beyond this point.

According to We Got This Covered, actress Famke Janssen flew into Sydney, Australia last week to reprise her role as Jean Grey a.k.a. The Phoenix for a little cameo. If this is true it'd be pretty awesome! I'd love to see the original cast members from Brian Singer's movies pop up again in the future X-Men films! Hell, there's a possibility we'll see them all about in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: Days of Future Past.

It's been assumed almost from the very beginning that director James Mangold's The Wolverine was going to be a prequel movie, but apparently that's not the case at all. In fact, the movie actually is set after the events in X-Men 3: The Last Stand. That's surprisingly awesome!

In an interview with Empire, the director explained the setting of the story,

Where this film sits in the universe of the films is after them all. Jean Grey is gone, most of the X-Men are disbanded or gone, so there’s a tremendous sense of isolation for him.

Of course there's going to be some prequel elements as we've seen some World War II set pieces, and there's the rumor that Jean Grey will make an appearance. But the film will actually be set in present day Japan. Mangold continues,

That’s something that for me was very important, that I land in a very specific place in his timeline. I wanted to be able to tell the story without the burden of handing it off to a film that already exists and having to conform to it. The ideas of immortality reign very heavily in this story and the burden of immortality weighs heavily on Logan. For me that’s such an interesting part of Logan’s character that is nearly impossible to explore if you have a kind of league or team movie.

Mangold then reveals how he would categorize the film saying that it's a "Japanese noir picture with tentpole action in it." I'm really excited about this movie, and I love that it takes place after the events of X-Men 3. There's something about it that makes the movie a lot more appealing.

After set photos revealed the various looks sported by star Hugh Jackman portraying The Wolverine’s titular character at different points in the X-Man’s life, the buzz surrounding the standalone is-but-isn’t sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit a new high with the latest reports. From rumors of X-Men franchise star Famke Janssen making an appearance in the film to confirmation that the film is based after the X-Men trilogy, these were only a few tips of the proverbial iceberg.

The first official look at Hugh Jackman’s abs Wolverine debuted a month ago and today we have the very first official poster to go along with news that The Wolverine will be the first 3D X-Men film.

Twentieth Century Fox has begun the marketing campaign for the next Wolverine solo affair and today star Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold sat down for a live chat with Marvel.com’s Ryan Penagos (Agent M) to discuss the development of The Wolverine and answer loads of fan questions. The video can be watched up top and here are some of the interesting bits covered:

• Villains get to Wolverine in ways other characters haven’t in the previous films
• Mangold’s aim was to avoid the “super-duper abilities” and keep the film ”grounded” in that what Wolverine does feels physical and possible for someone with his “credible abilities” - bring things down to earth, no less visually exciting, little less dependant on CG
• Action is very physical, fight choreography is amped up big time.
• Hugh: Wolverine’s ultimate weapon is his rage and that shows through more than ever.
• Mangold compares to The Bourne movies and The Dark Knight
• Hugh talks about training harder, eating better and starting earlier.
• Wolverine deals with Yakuza, industrialists, politicians, etc.
• Jackman and Mangold talk their favorite Wolverine comics and superpowers
• The Wolverine is more action-packed than any other X-film
• For Hugh, film and its development feels fresh, even after starring in four series installments already

Perhaps the juiciest highlight for moviegoers following the film’s development is when Mangold talks about why they placed The Wolverine after the X-Men trilogy, explaining that they chose this path so it doesn’t have to follow a narrow path and setup one of the previously released films. We’ll find out more on the implications of this decision soon, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that The Wolverine isn’t quite as “standalone” as first pitched. Not only is it a sequel of sorts to the stories told thus far, but could very well lead-in to X-Men: Days of Future Past the following summer.

We’ve also learned today via Stark Industries RU that The Wolverine will be post-converted into 3D, marking the first time Twentieth Century Fox has embraced the money-making format for one of their Marvel films. X-Men: First Class, despite releasing against Green Lantern, Captain America and Thor which all came in 3D last summer, did not come in 3D itself. Much of that was due to the highly rushed nature of the prequel’s production but Fox won’t miss that opportunity going forward.

For a film seemingly dark in visuals from the imagery and set photos made publicly available so far, and the fact that the film wasn’t shot in native 3D, there will justifiably be plenty of skepticism behind this decision by the studio, especially considering Mangold’s emphasis on reducing reliance on CG effects – the type of effects that actually are easy to post-convert and would benefit the most from the process.
