New X-Men Origins: Wolverine Photos

March 5, 2009

USA Today has published six new photos of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine cast which you can view here or by clicking on Hugh Jackman below!

Jackman also had some interesting to say about Logan in the article. Here's an excerpt:

Jackman says that while he has always been grateful for the franchise's success — it has grossed more than $1.1 billion and cemented his leading-man status — he has disagreed with the development of Wolverine's character over the years.

"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft," Jackman says. "I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life."

Jackman says he fell in love with the Wolverine character a decade ago for much the same reason fans embrace the comic books.

"The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo," Jackman says. "He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."

I so badly hope this a bounce back from the disappointment of "X3", and a return to the glory days of the Bryan Singer films.

Jackman looks like a complete bada**. There is no denying that. I think the movie will be a good summer action flick, fun to watch, but might be disappointing to hardcore X-men fans. Though I believe it will be much better than X-men 1-3.

That pic of Gambit is really cool! But i dont understand why they didnt give him his red and black eyes!!! At least they could've for the promo pic! I mean, they tease that his eyes will glow red and black in that final trailer, WHY not give it to him for us fans in his promo pic??

Alright, they keep showing a new photo & clip every other day. I hope this film won't end up like Spidy or X3. So much hype from both those flicks and they turned out to be garbage. and starting to feel the same way about this movie. I hope I'm wrong..

is he referring to like X3 or this movie? Is he saying that this movie has gone back to Wolverines original roots and bad ass character? I don't get what he is referring too.

I really don't care if this movie ends up being bad. I'm going to see it, and I know I'll enjoy it.
