Screen Rant have unearthed what may just be the first teaser poster for The Wolverine. Posted on Instragram, the picture (which the site have cleared up a little) was apparently taken in the offices of director James Mangold and clearly depicts a Japanese flag being sliced by Wolverine's claws. With production not scheduled to begin until Fall, it does seem a little early for a teaser poster. However, it's not as if this was released officially!



They've contacted Fox for some sort of confirmation about its validity, so stay tuned for any further details. If it is fan made, it's a damn good effort! What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

Rising soon?
LtAnarchy - 3/20/2012, 1:42 PM
Fan Made
StrangerX - 3/20/2012, 1:42 PM
I guess he's turning Japanese
Ha1frican - 3/20/2012, 1:43 PM

Darkknightman - 3/20/2012, 1:43 PM
Recast Wolverine. Time for a change.
TheSkywalkingKnight - 3/20/2012, 1:44 PM
Very cool!
RorMachine - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
I think it's to early for any official artwork like this considering they haven't even finished casting it yet..but if it is indeed from Mangold's office then it might be something he is considering using. It's pretty cool anyway.
RocketMadnessBoss - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
Ha, this is awful.
NOLANITE - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
Yeah this poster isnt all that great, it kinda looks Fan made.

It shouldnt follow Origins and if it did I feel terrible for Jackman.
BlueMex - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
rising ? huh
billnye69 - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
I hate Wolverine, that fact that he gets solo movies is beyond me. F*** him.
marvel72 - 3/20/2012, 1:45 PM
nice poster,don't f*ck up this movie like how you f*cked up the first.
Knightrider - 3/20/2012, 1:47 PM
Do they have a photo of the room where it was taken might be more believable if could see the room.
THORGodOfThunder - 3/20/2012, 1:47 PM
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
MarVell - 3/20/2012, 1:48 PM
I really hope this movie is good, anything will be better than Origins, but it would be cool to see an R-rated grittier Wolverine movie, even though that's highly unlikely.

@StrangerX: This one is supose to take place in Japan.
SageMode - 3/20/2012, 1:48 PM
I'm not seeing anymore X-Men related movies while under FOX.
nailbiter111 - 3/20/2012, 1:48 PM
[frick] me that's cool
PaulRom - 3/20/2012, 1:49 PM
Looks really cool. But yeah, it would be somewhat early for a poster of some kind.
nailbiter111 - 3/20/2012, 1:49 PM
red dot? have you never seen a japanese flag?
DamoC - 3/20/2012, 1:50 PM
Can't wait for this movie. it should be a million times better than the last and it's Bastardisation of a plethera of beloved comic book characters and "Origins".

Bring on the silver samuari.
GreyChaos13Zero - 3/20/2012, 1:50 PM
first one wasn't the greatest but it wasn't that bad either?)
nailbiter111 - 3/20/2012, 1:51 PM
How sad is that this poster is so much better than whatever The Avengers have had for posters.
Fogs - 3/20/2012, 1:51 PM
FAKE AND GAY!



hehe I always wanted to write that.
HavocPrime - 3/20/2012, 1:52 PM
Looks cool even if it maybe a fake
jazzman - 3/20/2012, 1:52 PM
@NOLANITE

its not following Origins this movie is contain in its own story.

@RedBlueSuperDude

i cant believe u just said that
ThatCrazzyFool - 3/20/2012, 1:52 PM
@StrangerX

Bahahahahahaha XD
leopoldinio - 3/20/2012, 1:54 PM
looks ok, but it's a fake ^^
Fogs - 3/20/2012, 1:54 PM
@RedBlueSuperDude - good thing you're kidding, right?

RIGHT?!?!?
ThreeHeadedMonkey - 3/20/2012, 1:54 PM
@MarVell I've been saying the same thing since production on the last Wolverine movie! Part of his personality is his animalistic brutality. To make a truly great Wolverine film, that can't be ignored. I wish Aronofski was still involved, he could've made the best film worthy of the title "The Wolverine!"
TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM - 3/20/2012, 1:54 PM
I would laugh if they completely say, "[frick] you" to Origins and do the real Japan story with Yuriko, Silver Samurai (confirmed), and the brown and Tan costume, though a Kimono would be fine.

Wolverine

@JerBear

u dont get it why it says Rising Soon.

its because JAPAN is the land of the Rising Sun
MassExecutions - 3/20/2012, 1:58 PM
SWEET

but probably fake.
nowtheresaBATman - 3/20/2012, 1:59 PM
Sick of Hugh Jackman after Origins. Hell I was sick of him as Wolverine before that. Could care less about this movie which is a shame because I've always loved "the Japan story" oh well more of the song & dance man I guess.
WolvieCBM - 3/20/2012, 2:02 PM
How sad it is when someone has to bring up Avengers in an article that has nothing to do with Avengers?

Very cool poster. Hoping it's the real deal.
Curmudgeon - 3/20/2012, 2:03 PM
The simple red sun is the national flag.

The flag with the rays is only used by the armed forces.
marvel72 - 3/20/2012, 2:04 PM
@ jazzman

how have you been mate,i haven't seen you in ages.
Boyle360 - 3/20/2012, 2:04 PM
OOOOH I like it!
Timerider84 - 3/20/2012, 2:05 PM
I'll wait to pass judgment when I see a trailer first. I like continuity, and Jackman is a good actor and he's also committed to this character with a passion. I'll give him another chance.
DividedIStand80 - 3/20/2012, 2:06 PM
Why does everything have to "Rise"?!
jazzman - 3/20/2012, 2:08 PM
@marvel72

im alright was on holiday
HelaGood - 3/20/2012, 2:08 PM
...i really think so...
StrangerX - 3/20/2012, 2:08 PM
@Marvell- I know dude.
JackDexx - 3/20/2012, 2:09 PM
Have wolverine's claws cutting through something... how original
thatiscrazy - 3/20/2012, 2:11 PM
The film version of wolverine will always suck if Jackman is playing him. Hes too soft and doesn't fit the archtype "short, ugly and bitter"
JatevinM - 3/20/2012, 2:11 PM
To recast Wolverine would be one of the single greatest mistakes that they could make.
novaprime - 3/20/2012, 2:15 PM
THIS IS FAKE AS HELL
jazzman - 3/20/2012, 2:16 PM
@DividedIStand80

u better take Viagra if it doesnt Rise for u LOL
blvdnoise - 3/20/2012, 2:17 PM
Nice. Very nice..
ralfinader - 3/20/2012, 2:22 PM
Fake or not, it looks better than anything in Wolvie: Origins. Any good voodoo spells to insure this next Wolverine won't suffer from suck like the last one?
