It’s been circulating for two weeks but in case someone missed it, here is the trailer for the upcoming X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE movie where Hugh Jackman reprises his role from the X-MEN trilogy in a spin-off film that goes into the character’s origins.
Of note, martial arts actor Scott Adkins — not seen in the trailer as far as I can tell — has a supporting role as a Weapon X member. Action choreography was provided by Chad Stahelski (NINJA ASSASSIN), David Leitch (BANGKOK DANGEROUS) and Glenn Boswell (4: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER).
I was collecting X-MEN-related comics in middle school when a lot of the Wolverine origin stories and more mature graphic novels were coming out. After looking at the trailer I ‘m a little under-whelmed. I would have liked to see a grittier and more stylized depiction of Wolverine in his first solo outing. I wish they had cast someone like Mickey Rourke to play Sabretooth instead of the clean-cut Liev Schreiber. I wish I could see some blood and down and dirty brawling instead of hyper-jumping onto army helicopters. But if similar production design decisions proved a success for the X-MEN films they will probably work again for this one.
