Hugh Goes High-Res in 'Wolverine' Image

This is exactly what it sounds like: a high-resolution photograph of Hugh “Heard the People Sing” Jackman from Darren Aronofsky’s James Mangold’s upcoming The Wolverine, a sequel/reboot/rebootquel/one-off for the eponymous beloved superhero after 2008’s disastrous Wolverine: Origins. Naturally, there’s not a whole lot to say about the shot– Jackman looks like he’s ready to tear off some heads after serenading audiences in Les Misérables, and I suspect for many that seeing Jackman in fighting shape will represent a huge chunk of the picture’s fan allure.

If anything, it should be refreshing to see Logan go toe-to-toe with samurai and ninjas instead of yet another super-mutant heavy designed to make us realize that he isn’t one of a kind– though I’m not at all familiar with the source material the film draws upon, so maybe that’s actually exactly what’s going to happen. We’ll find out on July 26th this summer.
