"X-Men Origins: Wolverine," opening May 1, 2009

Hugh Jackman unleashes the claws once again, in the role he first played 10 years ago, as the fan-favorite mutant Wolverine in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," opening May 1, 2009.

The new X-Men movie, Directed by Gavin Hood delves into the origins of the hero, from his childhood to the day that Logan was infused with the indestructible adamantium alloy and beyond.

The film stars Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Will.i.am and Danny Huston and pits Wolverine against Sabretooth (played by Liev Schreiber) and a host of other mutants including Blob, Deadpool and the nefarious Weapon X project.

Some think that the Wolverine portrayed in the previous X-Men movies was to different from the ornery character from the comic book series. Well, Hugh Jackman must have agreed with this point of view, because as both lead actor and producer of the soon to be released Wolverine movie, he was quoted as saying:

"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft. I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life.

[...]

The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo. He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."
