Three new images from James Mangold's reboot "The Wolverine" have appeared online. They are magazine scans and reveal the cool new look of the character. Hugh Jackman who once again returns as the mutant superhero is quoted in one of the scans as saying that "It’s the badass Wolverine I know everybody wants to see". I know I want to see an R-rated Wolverine movie, but that's just me. Who knows, though. The pedigree of this reboot is certainly indicating a more hardcore approach to the material, and I see Wolverine's blades are quite bloody in one of the images below, which is unusual for the PG-13 franchise. Besides, the character has been pretty "badass" so far, so Jackman upping the ante gives me great hopes. Director James Mangold is no stranger to violent entertainment, either, as both "3:10 to Yuma" and his surreal thriller "Identity" had plenty of it. "The Wolverine" opens in 3D on July 26th.
[UPDATED] - Added official high-quality versions of the images.
Check out the images after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before."
