The Wolverine is just a few months away, and I have to admit that I (like many of you out there) am a bit aprehensive about whether this one is going to stink or not. The last Wolverine film was so mind-numbing that I’ve managed to black most of it out for the sake of retaining my sanity. To address our fears, none other than Hugh Jackman has stepped forward to talk about the film and how it, at least to him, does the character justice. Unfortunately, EW is being stingy with their video, so you’ll have to click on Hugh Jackman’s head above to link your way over there
Check out The Wolverine when it hits the screens next month on July 26th.
Thanks to ComicBookMovie for the heads-up.
Yesterday, your collective worlds were rocked by a cinematic trailer ALMOST as awesome as Pac Rim’s: James Mangold’s The Wolverine – presented by your good friends here at NerdBastards.
Today, as you see, Hugh Jackman as Wolvie gets the cover of Entertainment Weekly, just as Henry Cavill’s Man Of Steel graced their Summer Preview Issue recently.
What’s to be said about this? Well, Jackman‘s been playing Wolverine for 13 years, and he still looks fantastic. We’re living in interesting times, aren’t we? Hollywood’s elite BEG for roles as characters that would barely have been considered popular enough for cartoons 20 years ago.
More than that, we’re past the point where A-List stars turn superheroes into household names….Now superhero portrayals are turning up and coming actors into major celebrities.
Brave New World – ain’t it, nerds?

Bryan Singer loves to Tweet pictures about his upcoming movies, and we love him all the more for it. The latest from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past is a fashionable look at the 1970′s outfits of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and the Beast (Nicholas Hoult). Singer captioned the picture:
“Welcome to 1973.”
I’m betting we’ll see some cringe worthy 70′s fashion, it will be interesting to see the 70′s hero costumes change through time and the correlating change in regular fashion. The big question for me is which character will appear first in a Dr. Venture type jumpsuit?
“Days of Future Past” is a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book The Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142, published in 1981. It deals with a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps. An adult Kate Pryde transfers her mind into her younger self, the present-day Kitty Pryde, who brings the X-Men to prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria.
X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theater screens on July 18th, 2014.

James Mangold‘s The Wolverine begins after the X-Men trilogy. This means we’re seeing a Wolverine that has just gone through some pretty traumatic times and is still struggling to come to grips with his returned memories, the death (by his own hands) of an extraordinary woman in his life (Jean Grey). Those kind of things mark a man, even a man like Wolverine.
That’s the emotional setup one must consider when looking at the story line in The Wolverine, but why set the movie in Japan, why would Logan go to Japan after all he’s been through, wouldn’t he want to be left alone? That’s more in line with his character. In a recent article in Empire, The Wolverine Producer Hutch Parker talked about the story behind Wolverine’s journey to Japan:
“We pick up Logan in a very isolated state, full of self-loathing. He is sought out by a young Asian woman for reasons he doesn’t fully understand, who is asking him to follow her to Japan where he is meant to reconnect with someone he spent prison-time with in Nagasaki. And the legacy of that experience – effectively Logan saved him – is that this man is on his deathbed, and is looking to give him a gift, to thank him for the life he’s had. But this gift draws Logan into a very complex and very unexpected world within both contemporary Japan, and to some degree the feudal history of Japan. The quality of this story is that it takes Logan on such a challenging personal journey. He’s so in isolation, so out of his element. It’s a much more powerful distillation of his character than you’ve seen before. It’s why people have always love this particular story.”
It looks like this is the doorway in which Wolverine will encounter the Yashida family, Mariko (Logan’s love interest in the comics) and her half brother Keniuchio Harada, the Japanese mutant known as The Silver Samurai. Mariko’s father is the head of the Yashida clan and the family is heavily involved in criminal activities as part of the famed Japanese mafia, the Yakuza. Throw in one pissed off, clawed out, mutant and you’ve got a movie worth seeing.
The other good news is that we now know when we’ll get a look at the first trailer for James Mangold‘s The Wolverine. The trailer will make it’s way onto fan boy and girl computer screens everywhere on February 12th. The trailer will then make it’s movie theater debut in the previews for screenings of A Good Day To Die Hard the following weekend, but don’t get too excited. Mangold has hinted that this is really a buffed up teaser trailer without many story line details.
