Wolverine 2: First Official Poster and…

First of all, just to set things straight; the initial X-Men Origins: Wolverine wasn’t good. As the first time onscreen solo adventure for our beloved X-Man, it didn’t do him justice. Moving on with the present, the first official poster to the upcoming 2013 sequel The Wolverine…

Now from the visual goodies to the print goodies, here’s what to expect from The Wolverine come next year according to Screenrant:

• The storyline in The Wolverine takes place after ALL the storylines in the earlier X-Men trilogy.
•     Villains get to Wolverine in ways other characters haven’t in the previous films
•     Mangold’s aim was to avoid the “super-duper abilities” and keep the film ”grounded” in that what Wolverine does feels physical and possible for someone with his “credible abilities” – bring things down to earth, no less visually exciting, little less dependant on CG
•     Action is very physical, fight choreography is amped up big time.
•     Hugh: Wolverine’s ultimate weapon is his rage and that shows through more than ever.
•     Mangold compares to The Bourne movies and The Dark Knight
•     Hugh talks about training harder, eating better and starting earlier.
•     Wolverine deals with Yakuza, industrialists, politicians, etc.
•     Jackman and Mangold talk their favorite Wolverine comics and superpowers
•     The Wolverine is more action-packed than any other X-film
•     For Hugh, film and its development feels fresh, even after starring in four series installments already
• It will be post-converted to 3D.

Here are two pretty cool (how much photoshop do you think went into the claws? They may need more work IMO 😉 ) images from earlier on:

So if you have been looking forward to a much better solo outing for Wolverine, what do you think now after the images and info above? Your thoughts completely welcome in the comments below 🙂

Oh yes, how could we forget, behold…
