He is one of the good guys, but he certainly isn’t nice, so you would not want to be at the point-end of his claws.
USA Today published the first photo of Hugh Jackman who takes the title role in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie.
Jackman says he is a fan of Wolverine but admits he was surprised with how much of a hit the X-Men series became. This band of mutant brothers connected with viewers so well, the X-Men franchise has grown to over $1.1 billion worldwide. After all, these characters have powers. And yet, they are still considered misfits and outcasts by society. Viewers just relate with that. “And who wouldn’t want the power to get back at the people who ostracized you?”, Jackman added.
Jackman would not give details of the plot except to say that Sabretooth, Wolverine’s nemesis, will play a big part in the story. The movie will also be far from being a one-mutant story, as there will be cameos of familiar mutants.
SuperheroHype has some pictures of Wolverine and Sabretooth hanging out with their kids.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine comes to theaters on May 1, 2009.
