"The Wolverine" Trailer (the whole thing this time!)
Wed, March 27, 2013 Finally! This is not a drill. Or a teaser for a teaser. We have a complete first trailer for The Wolverine. Two of them, actually. The domestic trailer is still in the clutches of Apple trailers, so check that one out on your iPad if you can, as it's pretty cool. But you can watch the nifty international trailer below. Looks like Wolverine, off on a mission to Japan, is going all Superman II by giving up his regenerative powers. And just like Superman, Wolverine will likely immediately regret this decision when a bunch of angry bad guys (most notably the Silver Samurai, played by Will Yun Lee) turn up.
Ninjas, atom-bomb dodging, and high-speed train fighting included. Enjoy the domestic and international trailers below.

Looks like a lot of fun, and definitely an improvement over Origins, which basically had Wolverine standing around and disapproving of all of the action sequences. There's actual fighting in this one! Still curious if there will be any sort of Days of Future Past tie-in, as it seems Jean Grey's appearance is more of a flashback.
Still, can't wait! The Wolverine opens in theaters on July 26, this time in glorious 3D.

Nice write-up as always, Jen! And I appreciate your enthusiasm for this. There's always a fine line with de-powering a character. We love to see our heroes challenged, but not at the expense of taking away too many of the things that make them great in the first place. I do think there's something exciting about the notion of Wolverine having to dig deeper into his own skill and ferocity to overcome the (assuredly temporary) loss (or at least diminishing) of his healing factor that's undoubtedly taken some of the edge off his game. And then, of course, there's Jackman. Remember that one time, when he didn't give his all in a performance? Oh, wait. THAT NEVER HAPPENED! This looks like a ton of fun to me.
