I arrived to find a spectacular arrangement. On display were props from the movie that included the different versions of The Wolverine’s claws as well as costume that is to be seen on the deleted scenes of the DVD/Blu-ray.

After watching the latest trailer for The Wolverine, I gotta admit this is really looking good. The X-film franchise is really on an upswing and I dig it. Directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine is set to open July 26th, 2013.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

NEWS: New The Wolverine Trailer Featuring Jean Grey!

The Wolverine New Trailer Viper Silver Samurai Jean Grey

Viper, Silver Samurai and Jean Grey! Just released online is the latest trailer for The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. The nearly two and a half minute trailer amps up the action and show more of the characters. It begins with a nightmare recalling the events of X-Men The Last Stand, and a haunting Jean Grey (Famke Janssen). We are then hit with some story hints, that Logan may have his healing power removed, leaving him vulnerable. Check out the trailer here:



Nicely done trailer, the action comes across really good. Silver Samurai looks pretty imposing and someone I wouldn't want to mess with. After Wolverine: Origins, I didn't quite have faith in another solo installment of Wolvy, but this is shaping up nicely. Directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine is set to open July 26th, 2013. Did you like the trailer? Leave a comment below

Ready to see another The Wolverine poster? Just posted on the film's official twitter is a new Japanese poster for the movie. The image features Hugh Jackman holding a sword, with his claws out. The tweet's text was "Torn between life and death..." which I would assume is the text on the poster.

The second poster is also of a shirtless Hugh Jackman, holding a sword in one hand and claws unsheathed in the other. I actually like this one better as the other version looks a little reminiscent of the "Platoon" movie poster to me.

The Wolverine opens July 26, 2013 in the US. In the meantime you can enjoy the X-men Franchise with this box set

I always appreciate when movie companies try something different to promote their movie, like all the cool stuff Warner Bros. has done online for the Dark Knight series.

For the International movie poster of The Wolverine, we also get a "motion poster" that was posted on Youtube via The Wolverine's channel. The motion poster is of the Wolverine pensively squatting above the lights of a flickering city in Japan.


While the video is only a few seconds long, it is something different than the typical jpg.  Maybe on the next one we do a fade out on the title treatment or date.
