Hugh Jackman talks Jean Grey role in The Wolverine; Banshee not returning in X-Men Days of Future Past
29 March 2013 8:17 PM, PDT
"I always try to make a great film. Also to challenge myself with genre. I may not always serve your favourite meal but other folks may enjoy."
So said director James Mangold on his Twitter page as he unleashed first a 'Tweaser' - his phrase for the six-second Twitter video teaser - and then the full two-minute teaser trailer for Hugh Jackman's next solo mutant adventure The Wolverine.
Both videos are included here, along with a set of four new images that were released by 20th Century Fox.
The essence of the story appears to be that Wolverine is feeling the burden of the immortality granted by his mutant healing powers (and helped a lot by the protection of his adamantium-laced skeleton). And then someone offers to make him mortal again.
Visible in the Tweaser is Famke Janssen as Jean Grey, who died in X-Men: The Last Stand but »

First look at Viper in costume in The Wolverine, plus new posters and images as we count down to trailer
25 March 2013 10:44 AM, PDT
New images from The Wolverine have finally given us the first proper look at one of the other key characters apart from Hugh Jackman's metal-clawed mutant.
The pictures unveiled by 20th Century Fox via Entertainment Weekly show Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova in a green costume (similar to her look in the comics) as Viper. We previously had a glimpse of the character in some set pictures from Japan. Now we just need a look at the film's other villain, Silver Samurai.
Director James Mangold said of his interpretation of Viper: "As her name would imply, she's kind of snakelike. She likes to play with toxins. She's immune to toxins. She's kind of formidable.
"Viper views Logan like a great hunter might view hunting a lion. There's kind of an admiration, a desire to destroy and a desire to consume and to have and to hold."
