New posters land for ‘The Wolverine’ showing Tokyo, ninjas and beserker rage
The Wolverine has released a pair of brand new posters online Monday morning, Hugh Jackman as the popular X-Men character surrounded by ninjas and the other has Wolverine against the Tokyo skyline.
The new film will follow the events of X-Men: The Last Stand as Logan is searching for a new life in Japan separate from his X-Men teammates. Logan falls in love but things get complicated as it is reveals that her father is the head of a powerful Yakuza crime gang.
“I’m thrilled the studio called it The Wolverine instead of Wolverine 2, because we’re trying to set it up as a standalone picture,” Jackman told Total Film. “Tonally, it’s different from the other X-Men movies. It’s got massive action sequences, as people would expect, and it’ll be great fun. But it is a character-driven movie. It’s about a guy completely out of his element, in this world that’s foreign to him, and how he copes with that. I feel like we have the opportunity to deliver that badass, kick-ass Wolverine I know everybody wants to see.”
The Wolverine will be directed by James Mangold, co-starring Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee and Tao Okamoto.
The film is set to arrive in theates July 26, 2013.
