The Wolverine Set Photo Reveals Clashing Claws And SwordsMangold sent out the image with the message, "Hiro Sanada and HJ rehearse clash of claws and blades. Hiro is a truly great actor, martial artist and friend." Sanada plays Shingen Yashida, a samurai also known as Lord Shingen, in the movie....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-05-15 01:29:01comments
What Will Be The Summer's Biggest Movie? We Place Our BetsIron Man 3 is an enormous hit right now, nearing $1 billion at the worldwide box office and ruling the American charts for the second weekend in a row. The Great Gatsby opened just last week and managed to stun nearly everybody by making $51 million. Summer movies are there to entertain us, sure, but they're really all about the money, and even more than we want to know the true identity of Star Trek's villain or what's really going on in Edgar Wright's The World's End...by Katey, Kristy, Sean, Eric and Mack | published: 2013-05-13 15:31:16comments
Another X-Man Rumored To Cameo In The WolverineBack when it was revealed (via a Vine video) that Famke Janssen would reprise her role of Jean Grey in James Mangold’s upcoming The Wolverine, fans stopped trying to plot out which X-Men characters would cameo in the standalone Logan adventure. As far as they knew, the “riddle” had been solved. But has it? ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-05-08 06:51:36comments
Silver Samurai Poster Promotes The Wolverine With Art, Not CarnageThe image appeared courtesy of director James Mangold’s Twitter page, tagged with the message, “As we are beginning to offer glimpses of Silver Samurai, here’s a new great one sheet image for #thewolverine.” This Japanese watercolor-style portrait of the villain-turned-hero-turned-villain was almost definitely designed by the same guy who gave us a similar look at Wolverine himself last year....by Nick Venable | published: 2013-05-04 14:55:12comments
The Wolverine CinemaCon Footages Features Leaping Ninjas And A Silver SamuraiThere’s no denying that this still looks worlds more engaging than the mess that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but it lacks all cohesiveness and doesn’t really clue anyone into the film’s storyline. They should have just showed a piece of a battle scene....by Nick Venable | published: 2013-05-01 11:17:05comments
The Wolverine Japanese Trailer Thrills With New Footage, A Better PaceIt’s not that the footage shown in this trailer is vastly different. But the pacing of the clip is slower, more deliberate, and it gives The Wolverine room to breathe, which reminds me that Mangold knows how to direct a picture and, hopefully, he pans out as being the right choice to helm the first great Wolverine movie. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-04-23 08:33:00comments
The Wolverine Gets Four New Behind-The-Scenes ImagesStrangely, Twitter has become a surprisingly valuable resource for directors of superhero movies who want to get the word out about their films, and James Mangold has been getting in on the action as well with The Wolverine....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-04-10 13:45:14comments
Hugh Jackman Explains Jean Grey's Importance To The WolverineIt's clear that Jackman and director James Mangold are bringing Wolverine to some dark places in this sequel, but also packing it with a lot of samurai fighting and a very fast-paced sequence on a bullet train, which Jackman calls "insane." We're still holding out all the hope we can muster that The Wolverine is a vast improvement on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but we're staying a little nervous too...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-03-28 11:50:54comments
The Wolverine Trailers: Am I The Only One Who Loved Them?It’s foolish to judge a film on its trailer. Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens looked fantastic as a two-minute tease. Too much can change when a movie plays out at feature length, obviously, but there are a number of elements in Mangold’s trailers that lead me to believe he and Jackman figured out how to tell a standalone Wolverine movie. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-03-27 09:57:47comments
Two Wolverine Trailers Show Their Claws"It's an honor to meet the Wolverine." "That's not who I am anymore." Suffering from the pressure of immortality and hiding from his superpowers, Logan (Hugh Jackman) seems to be running away from it all at the start of this trailer… but of course, when you've got adamantium claws and a lot of people interested in your powers, that's not going to last for long...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-03-27 07:17:27comments

The Wolverine Trailer Sneak Peek Reveals A Major CameoAfter months of parsing through set photos and Hugh Jackman's facial hair, we're finally about to get our first look at The Wolverine in the form of an honest-to-God trailer-- but that doesn't mean we don't have to sort through a Vine video to get there.

Wolverine Hi-Res Stills Have Blood Dripping From The Mutant's ClawsA trailer finally will be attached to prints of G.I.

The Wolverine's First Trailer Won't Arrive Until Late MarchIt would have made a lot of sense for 20th Century Fox to attach the first trailer for James Mangold's The Wolverine to this weekend's A Good Day To Die Hard. Not only is the same studio releasing both movies, they are also both being aimed at the same demographic and the timeline fits perfectly (with the superhero flick due in theaters on July 26th). And yet it looks as though we won't be getting our first look at The Wolverine for more than a month....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-02-11 15:11:15comments
Hugh Jackman Suits Up In New Image From The WolverineIn Bryan Singer's 2000 film X-Men it was established that Wolverine wasn't a big fan of the leather jump suit the team had him wear, but that doesn't fully explain a certain pattern that has developed in the marketing for James Mangold's upcoming superhero film The Wolverine. Thus far there have been three official stills and one photo-based poster for the movie (the teaser poster was illustrated) and all of them have featured the titular character not wearing a shirt....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-28 17:26:46comments

Iron Man 3, Man Of Steel And The Wolverine Deliver New Stills2012 was a huge year for comic book movies. Sure, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is a title we'll probably soon forget (if most of us haven't already), but it's hard not to appreciate the fact that we got The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man and Dredd 3D all within a few months of each other....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-10 20:32:41comments
The Wolverine Will Be A Samurai Without A Master, The Movie's Timeline ExplainedIt came as a total shock last year when director James Mangold revealed that his latest film, The Wolverine, isn't actually a sequel to 2009's disastrous X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but instead picks up the timeline way further down the road past the events of X-Men: The Last Stand....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-08 13:37:55comments

The Wolverine Had Only One Mutant In Early DraftsOne of the biggest problems with Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand was that it tried to do too much with too many mutants. Somehow the filmmakers got it into their heads that the only thing people want out of an X-Men movie are cool mutant abilities, and the rest of the movie suffered as a result. So it's strange to think that The Wolverine was almost the complete opposite of that....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-19 14:05:26comments
The Wolverine Gets A Stormy New International PosterHugh Jackman has already played Wolverine in five different movies, a record for any actor playing a live-action superhero. The Aussie actor has become synonymous with the part and has made a big screen icon out of the character with six claws and a pair of mutton chops. So it's no surprise that 20th Century Fox believes that they can get away with a title-less international poster for director James Mangold's The Wolverine - and the truth is that they really can....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-12 22:51:50comments
The Wolverine Gets An Awesome New Teaser PosterOne major element that separates the upcoming The Wolverine from all of the other X-Men movies we've seen is that rather than taking place in America, most of the movie is actually set in Japan. It would have been a shame if they failed to implement this very special aspect into the promotional materials, but the good news is that with the first ever teaser poster it looks as though they actually plan to display the cultural distinction proudly....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-10-29 15:03:32comments

The Wolverine Takes Place After All Other X-Men MoviesX-Men Origins: Wolverine, as is pretty obvious from the clumsy title, was a prequel to the first trilogy of X-Men films that was apparently intended to be the first of many.

Hugh Jackman And James Mangold Will Answer Your Wolverine Questions LiveIt’s interesting that Mangold admits they’re nearly ready to wrap production on the sequel to the prequel.

New Wolverine Shots Show Hugh Jackman As Yukon Mountain ManTwentieth Century Fox has been pretty tight lipped about details on the latest addition to their X-Men franchise, The Wolverine.

Jessica Biel Might Play Viper In The WolverineNo deals have been signed and nothing is set in stone, but if she does board, it would make a lot of sense. Given the so-so response from fans to the first endeavor, it’s important for The Wolverine to not only be good but also a bit splashy.
