Yesterday, THN brought you the first clip from the second X-MEN spin-off sequel, THE WOLVERINE, and we’ve yet more mutant goodies on show today. Oscar-winning director James Mangold is at the helm with Hugh Jackman back reprising his angry, adamantium-clawed signature role of Logan. The plot sees him travelling to Tokyo, Japan after receiving an offer from a mysterious man from his past, who claims he can ‘cure’ our hero of his immortal curse.
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
Check out these new featurettes from the action-adventure film c0-starring Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee. THE WOLVERINE is unleashed on the 26th July.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
