The new issue of Empire magazine has this new promo photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine for 20th Century Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, opening May 1, 2009.

Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program.

They could at least refer to Captain A in this movie. That would be nice.

to answer the question about him looking younger..... because of his healing abilitys which allows his body to fight off disease and therefore the effects of againg there is really no way of telling how old wolverine actually is. he can look the same in this movie and it will still be ok

I agree with Spidertracer, I don't think anybody who can be in GQ should play Wolverine.

My claws are glued on...

Im thinking there will be a lot more out once Comic Con hits. But nice for the teaser.

to Willard and Spidertracer,
There is a reason it is called acting tards. Thats the most retarded logic. You might as well say the guy playing the blob is wrong because he isnt fat

why would they want to make wolverine look younger, when wolverine doesnt really age. he's probably looked that way for many years.

I just really want to see Dead Pool nuff' said. Ryan Renolds would make a good trash talking Dead Pool then again so would the king of b-list one liners, Bruce Campbell.

Ratner was a bad selection but he was thrown into the project at the end. So we can't fully blame him.
Re: using his bone claws...In the regular MU Logan didn't know he had the bone claws until after Eric took his adamantium from him. So I say ney to the bone claws.
I lost track after House of M. Logan got his entire memory back so I'm not aware if he remembered the claws pre- Weapon-X.
I still think keeping it like "Marvel Comics Presents" would be great.

I understand Wolverine is supposed to be over 100, but how much over? His birth is conjectured to be 1892 (Origins#1). If he was there at the beach during WWII, well that was 64 years ago (June 6th 1944). I imagine him looking at least a little older in 64 years. Maybe they will digitally make him a bit younger like they did Stewart and McKellan in X-3. Either way, I'm looking forward to this film simply for all the generations they will have to film through, depending on how far they take him into the present. We will see a lot of history. I hope they show his birth or early childhood.

I feel they are using the X-Men origins moniker because there will be more introductions (hopefully) into the rest of the X-men. As far as this picture of wolverine, *YAWN*!! SHEESH, a reused photo from a past flick. If it isn't then it might as well could be. Ohhh, what a pic my foot. What a disgrace. The claws look purchased from wal-mart. Totally fake. Where is Stan Winston when you need him? (R.I.P.). With the technology out there, these claws look that bad? Come on! They don't even look like they could fit into his forearm. As far as the bone-claws. They first showed up when he was a child, not after his adamantium was removed. So a flashback should certainly show the bone. Hugh can play a nasty Wolvie, if he wants to. This I agree on. Lets see how the director drives the story. He really needs to be more feral-like, a bit more dirty looking, more instinctive, I mean this is before he had any manners, after he loses his innocence abruptly so shouldn't it be gritty and AGGRESSIVE?! Even at PG-13.
For the record: Doing Cyclops (and the rest) the way they did in X3, was just plain stupid!!!! I could repeat this to everyone I meet. What a disgrace to the franchise. UGH. REALLY TICKS ME OFF. Who does the writer think he is? If it aint broke dont fix (ruin) it. Pish!! EAT MY SHORTS!!!! After Ironman raised the bar, lets see how this performs. I think it's great that we are finally getting hero movies on the big screen, but us comic fans are PICKY PICKY PICKY. These movies should be perfect with so much material to draw from. Lets hope it's not a Superman returns debacle. 'nuff said. Excelsior, Jaymes

Yawn

I'm a big fan, but this getting boring! If they have something "real" to show, fine then show it, but this is just another rehashed still.
Gimme MORE!! DAMN-IT!!
Posted by: Krayzeman on July 7, 2008 at 08:50:34

"Wolverine MAY be as old as the Professor!"
OMG!!!!!
Actually, if you had even the slightest knowledge of his past, he's way OLDER than the Professor. Infact, he's most likely around 150-200 years old.
He was born in pioneer-era Canada, just read Wolverine "Origins". Or X-Men. Or Wolverine. Or ANY comic he's been in. His name is James, and Sabertooth (Victor Creed) is his brother.

I agree with Zach, could have done something different for the promo shot, we've seen the hands crossed thing like four or five times now. How about something a little more vicious?

Awesome! Can't wait.
