The past is always behind you, but the memories still remain. That was the caption, or tagline, included with this new dark blue photo featuring Hugh Jackman as Logan in The Wolverine X-men 2 , directed by James Mangold (of Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight and Day). We have yet to see a trailer and are patiently waiting one (because it has to be right around the corner considering this is due in theaters this July, word is with G.I. Joe: Retaliation later in March) so these photos are all that hold us over until that arrives. At least this one is badass and actually features some Japanese writing on the wall in front of him. More, more!
Based on the celebrated comic book arc by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed. James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight and Day) is directing The Wolverine from a script by Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback who are adapting the classic 1982 story arc in the Wolverine comics, which takes our favorite mutant all the way to Japan. The cast includes Will Yun Lee as the Silver Samurai, Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper, Brian Tee, Hiroyuki Sanada and Rila Fukushima. 20th Century Fox is releasing The Wolverine in theaters starting July 26th this summer. Stay tuned for the trailer soon. Click for new release movie 2013.
