First official "Wolverine" picture released


From darkhorizons, After the release of this photo from the set of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" earlier this week met not-so-kind reaction, 20th Century Fox went to USA Today yesterday to premiere the first official publicity still from their X-Men spin-off feature.

The accompanying article says the film will trace Wolverine's past as he discovers the world of mutants and, ultimately, the ominous Weapon X program which turns people into living weapons.

Wolverine's nemesis Sabretooth "is going to play a big part in it. And there will be a good bit of cameos" of new and familiar mutants Jackman says. He adds "But you can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film."

Okay, it's only Jackman talking, and actors just say whatever, but what's with this statement?

"You can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film."

It's early to get all hardcore, but that sounds like they know they've got a movie the fans aren't going to like. Someday all such movies will have actual fanboys on staff (which is why Bryan Singer, J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon and to a lesser extent Kevin Smith got game).

(Yeah, yeah, Superman Returns, I know. He's still of the church.)
