Hugh Jackman's famous "X-Men" character may become merely mortal in the upcoming "The Wolverine."
Wolverine
is thrashing his way back to the big screen.
For the first time
since his less-than-favorable 2009 spinoff, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hugh Jackman has his claws out again as the fan-favorite
X-Men character in the soon-to-be blockbuster, The Wolverine.
In the nearly
two-minute trailer for the James Mangold film, Logan a.k.a Wolverine struggles
with his superpowers, claiming "that's not who I am anymore." The
Marvel mutant travels to Japan, where he comes face-to-face with a man who owes
him a debt.
"For
so many years, I have wanted to thank you for saving my life," an elderly
war veteran tells Wolverine, recalling how the hero rescued him from
the heat blast of an atomic bomb. "But I didn't send for you only to
thank you, Logan. I wanted to repay you. A gift to equal the life you gave me.
You have struggled long enough. I can end your eternity — make you
mortal."
"What they did to
me...what I am...can't be undone," Logan bemoans. But the old man
responds, "Don't be so sure." And by the end of the trailer,
Wolverine comes to a startling conclusion: "I'm not healing."
The
full-length trailer comes on the heels of The Wolverine team rolling out bits and
pieces of promotion throughout the week. On Monday, the film's director
posted a six-second Vine teaser on his Twitter account, as a new poster hit the
web. Then Tuesday, Twentieth Century Fox treated fans to an official 33-second
teaser trailer, which revealed Logan a.k.a. Wolverine wondering about reversing
his mutations.
The
Wolverine hits theaters on July
26.
