THE WOLVERINE Image Shows Off Bone Claws


A new official image from "The Wolverine" (above) has surfaced online and it shows Hugh Jackman in character, showing off Wolverine's bone claws, that is, before his entire skeleton was covered in the indestructible Adamantium. This indicates that Wolverine's origin story will be advanced, but the big surprise is that according to director James Mangold, "The Wolverine" is not a prequel to the "X-Men" trilogy like "X-Men Origins" was, but a sequel. Here is what Mangold had to say:
"Where this film sits in the universe of the films is after them all. Jean Grey is gone, most of the X-Men are disbanded or gone, so there’s a tremendous sense of isolation for him. That’s something that for me was very important, that I land in a very specific place in his timeline. I wanted to be able to tell the story without the burden of handing it off to a film that already exists and having to conform to it. The ideas of immortality reign very heavily in this story and the burden of immortality weighs heavily on Logan. For me that’s such an interesting part of Logan’s character that is nearly impossible to explore if you have a kind of league or team movie."
