Can’t wait until next May to get a look at Hugh Jackman in some Wolverine prequel action? USA Today feels your pain.
The news syndicate has offered fans a first look at X-Men Origins: Wolverine, including the following shot of Jackman in all his clawed glory:
The actor promised that X-Men fans’ favorite anti-hero wouldn’t be getting any kinder or gentler in the prequel — just the opposite, in fact:
“I know it seems odd given, you know, the guy is already half animal. But with all the success of the X-Men, you feel the pressure to keep pushing it further.”
Admitting he was caught off guard by the success of the X-Men films, Jackman says he “became a fan of Wolverine like everyone else — that’s why I keep holding on to the character.” And though he declined to reveal much in the way of plot details for the prequel, he did tell USA Today that fans can expect “a good bit of cameos,” and promised that Sabretooth “is going to play a big part in it.”
