The Wolverine's New Trailer: What's New and Why You Shouldn't Skip It

It's been four years since Hugh Jackman flexed his claws for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and a few months since we got the first trailer of him in this year's follow-up, The Wolverine.

It's been four years since Hugh Jackman flexed his claws for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and a few months since we got the first trailer of him in this year's follow-up, The Wolverine. We already know this movie takes place after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, when Logan flees to Japan. In this new installment, a man whose life he once saved offers to give him the gift of mortality, but that doesn't mean he gets to lead a peaceful life. People are still after him, and this time Logan's not exactly equipped to fight. The second trailer has dropped, and even if you've already seen the first one, there are some key differences.

  • Jean Grey is back. OK, so she's just back in dream form, but the late Jean (Famke Janssen) makes an appearance in this trailer. It seems poor Logan is being tormented by the memory of his former lover — is this some kind of foreshadowing? Will he ever be able to move on and find someone new?
  • It's not as cryptic as the first trailer. While the first trailer devotes precious time to catching up with Wolverine (he's hiding out in remote bars, Skyfall-style), this one gets right down to the point. He agrees to undergo some type of experimental treatment that will make him slightly more human, and in the midst of his sessions, he gets attacked. Speaking of . . .
  • More action! There's extended footage of a crazy fight on top of trains, but even more exciting? There's some kind of giant robot-ninja — ninja-robot? I'll be curious to see how the transitioning Wolverine can handle such an opponent.

The Wolverine opens July 26, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

The Wolverine Trailer: Has Hugh Jackman Been Declawed?

In the trailer for The Wolverine, we're reunited with Hugh Jackman's X-Men persona, Wolverine/Logan, and this time we're seeing him at what appears to be his weakest.

In the trailer for The Wolverine, we're reunited with Hugh Jackman's X-Men persona, Wolverine/Logan, and this time we're seeing him at what appears to be his weakest. Taking place after the events in X-Men: The Last Stand, this movie finds Wolverine sought out by a man in Japan he once saved decades earlier from an atomic bomb. Out of gratitude, the much-older man wants to give Wolverine a very special gift to end the pain he's endured for years: mortality. Turns out, mortality isn't quite what it's cut out to be when you're used to magically healing (bullets and Samurai swords hurt and stuff!).

Since this is Jackman's fifth outing as the character (sixth, if you count his cameo in 2011's X-Men: First Class), I was hoping to see a fresh angle on the superhero's story or on the character itself. Unfortunately, I don't see too much that's new here, aside from the setting and the lack of other X-Men. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong when the movie comes out July 26, and you can decide for yourself by watching the trailer after the jump.

Oscar Date 411: Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman hit the red carpet with none other than his lovely wife of almost 20 years.
Hugh Jackman and His Wife at the Oscars 2013

Hugh Jackman hit the red carpet with none other than his lovely wife of almost 20 years. Jackman picked up a best actor nod for his role in Les Misérables and if it weren't for his Oscar date — Deborra-Lee Furness — he may not have even finished the film. After a particularly tough day on the Les Misérables set, he told her it was too much and she insisted that he do it. Throughout award season, there's been no shortage of spousal praise from Hugh. Hugh has said of his wife, "I feel so lucky . . . she's the greatest woman. . . . Having the security and knowledge that someone you love, who loves you for exactly who you are, whether you're successful, whether you're not successful — in those moments of real doubt, she was the only one who could really pull me off that cliff."

The couple has two adopted children, Oscar and Ava, and Deborra is no stranger to the spotlight herself. In fact, she and Hugh met in 1995 on the set of an Australian TV show, Correlli, and she has a number of TV and film credits to her name. See Hugh and Deborra at the Oscars now!
