Empire released a dashing photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Seriously. Just look at that man. Dashing. There’s also the claws, which look good this time around, unlike in X-Men Origins: Wolverine — which we won’t speak of anymore.
Not long ago there was a rumor circulating that Hugh Jackman would play Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. It didn’t take very long to become fact. Today, Jackman took to Twitter to reveal that he’s doing more than just a quick cameo like he had in First Class.
With director Bryan Singer, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen returning to the X-Men, it comes as no surprise that rumors are now spreading that Hugh Jackman is in talks to make an appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Fox is approaching The Wolverine with more respect than they had with their first spinoff on Logan. Instead of throwing things in the story to see what sticks, they’re taking a more personal approach. They’re also taking cues from the comic book too, as evident by the official synopsis that was released:
Pictures from The Wolverine are surfacing online, showcasing Hugh Jackman in the role he’s best known for. And best of all? They ditched the horrible C.G. claws from X-Men Origins: Wolverine and returned to the practical claws. Why they even went with C.G. claws for a movie is a mystery beyond me — anyway!
Fox is moving forward with advertising their not-quite sequel The Wolverine and released a teaser poster showcasing Hugh Jackman’s Logan in a familiar pose. It definitely depicts the rage that Wolverine is notorious for — which was lacking in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And if there’s one thing that Logan should emote, it’s an anger that he can barely contain.
World-renowned Korean sensation PSY recently tweeted a photo of himself with X-Men heartthrob Hugh Jackman. And as you can clearly see, they’re both brandishing Logan’s claws. Could this mean a bloody “Wolvie-nam Style” music video? Of course not, but the idea of “Gangnam Style” with Wolverine’s claws sounds unforgettable.
Fox and Marvel have steadily moved along with The Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman. Before anyone groans, the second film is its own entity, away from the horrible misstep known as X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
