Delaying it is a good idea, but that is ONE HELL OF A DELAY !
ElDarkside - 3/16/2013, 6:24 PM
Blood on claws!!!! Badass!!!Maybe we'll get some realism even if its only pg-13??

Anyone know for sure the rating?
batpod0718 - 3/16/2013, 6:25 PM
He resembles Wolverine more and more as he gets older.
BenderdickCumPatch - 3/16/2013, 6:25 PM
Blood on claws.
[frick] yea
ralfinader - 3/16/2013, 6:36 PM
Delaying it was not a good idea. Should have had a teaser at the superbowl, just 30 seconds and no footage would be better than this radio silence until GI Joke.
OrgasmicPotatoe - 3/16/2013, 6:40 PM
Is it just me or does his claws look a bit different than before ? I looks as is the angle on the top of the claws is a bit closer to his hand than before.

...

I did my research, the angle is alright, but they are MUCH thinner.

Yea, I complain about only seeing this dude walk around in a black suit and tie. This isn't Tony Stark...this is the f@cking beserker we're talking about here.



Him in a ninja suit with the type of battle damage shown above would get me excited about this film. As it is...



It's putting me to sleep.
Superguy15 - 3/16/2013, 6:47 PM
Hopefully we'll get a trailer sometime this week!

;P
Fenlion - 3/16/2013, 6:48 PM
Enough stupid pix!!!!! Trailer or nothing!!
thewolfx - 3/16/2013, 6:51 PM
Wolverine haters hate vagina also
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 6:51 PM
@sephiroth211 - this is that very same beserker fella



cipher - 3/16/2013, 6:53 PM
Hehe, now I'm gettin' all creative. Imagination's a powerful thing..

;P
sephiroth211 - 3/16/2013, 6:53 PM
Yea, keep showing the neutered Wolverine. If that's what floats your boat that's fine by me. I want to see this dude in full death mode...which we haven't seen. Forgive me for craving things I haven't seen before.
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 6:54 PM
@cipher - i loved what the punisher put him through during ennis' marvel knights run :)

@LEVITIKUZ - nah, that's just a temporary setback for the furry canadian :)
Spidey91 - 3/16/2013, 6:56 PM
blood on his claws...nice >:D
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 6:57 PM
@sephiroth211 - hey, if this movie was just splatter-porn, i'd be all about it. i do like a bit more in cbms than just fight scenes, tho :)
ATrueHero1987 - 3/16/2013, 7:00 PM
Hulk lookin at Wolverine like "Take that you lil crazy muthaf***"lmao
sephiroth211 - 3/16/2013, 7:02 PM
Splatter-porn? When he goes beserker in the comics is it splatter-porn? Reaching there pard. I'm not gonna sit here and keep arguing the same point with you folks. You have a right to your opinion as I have every right to mine. Brown and yellow suit caked in blood, along with Claremount's story. What's so hard to understand about that?
theomegasanction - 3/16/2013, 7:09 PM
like the look of the claws. also think his hair looks better shorter, never thought it looked right in the xmen movies
IIIAdamantiumIII - 3/16/2013, 7:10 PM
the claws are certainly different than one used in the past, they arn't as long/fanned out/thicker
marvel72 - 3/16/2013, 7:12 PM
its gonna be about two weeks before we see a trailer,i need it now.
LucasMend - 3/16/2013, 7:14 PM
Everybody wants to see blood, R-Rated Wolverine, what's the fun on having claws if you can't show blood? ugh
LucasMend - 3/16/2013, 7:15 PM
And not only silly blood on claw, but actual blood when he cuts somebody.
IIIAdamantiumIII - 3/16/2013, 7:16 PM
ummm how about GIVING US THE TRAILER NOW!? so we can tell all our friends and family this movie is actually coming out..
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 7:19 PM
@sephiroth211 - he's gone beserk before in the movies. more would be nice, tho. just not all the time :)
sephiroth211 - 3/16/2013, 7:24 PM
He hasn't gone full on berserker rage. I mean black out not knowing where is he rage.
RamonSuarez - 3/16/2013, 7:26 PM
If this were the "badass Wolverine" that "everyone wants to see" the movie would be Rated R.
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 7:29 PM
so, similar to martin lawrence with a bottle of courvoisier in him, then? :)
Jollem - 3/16/2013, 7:30 PM
CharacterAssassin - 3/16/2013, 7:34 PM
@RamonSuarez... ^Damn, you beat me to it. Not only Rated R, but they'll be heads rollin with lot's of slicing and dicing body parts. Of course, all in his traditional Wolverine suit and not no two piece Armani trench coat suit they've got him in.
sephiroth211 - 3/16/2013, 7:36 PM
Look how boss that suit is. Always been my favorite.

ashola69 - 3/16/2013, 7:42 PM
I visited the set of the wolverine

check out my video here

SlaveMasterFlexXx - 3/16/2013, 7:45 PM
Well actually seeing blood on his claws is something. I was already going to GI Joe so good to know.
batman1216 - 3/16/2013, 7:49 PM
Wolverine is still the best marvel character after spider-man. Screw the haters.

sameoldthing - 3/16/2013, 7:51 PM
Thats a cool pic with Hulk ripping off Wolvies arm & sticking his claw into his head..can his own claws pierce his own metal skull? Is he dead there or just starting to heal/ recover?

Wolverine can take serious damage.
sKeemAn - 3/16/2013, 8:02 PM
ya know I'm really liking this almost full Japanese cast. This movie gone be like a live action anime.
cipher - 3/16/2013, 8:22 PM
Joll
Haha, yeah, Wolvie took a beatin' there (and some people still underestimate Frank?!?). That's why I love the hairy little bastard, he can take anything. Put a claw through his face..Wait a few minutes..

Then reap the "benefits" of that bet you made to show your friends how "tough" you are..

;)
TheBlackWolverine - 3/16/2013, 8:28 PM
@ashola69

Sweet!! I had to fast forward the vid at first because I feared I was going to end up being hit with those scary pop up films man...lol Good to see you on the set bro!!
JoeMomma29 - 3/16/2013, 8:29 PM
I still prefer Gusto's version!

JoeMomma29 - 3/16/2013, 8:35 PM
LOL at Jollem that Hulk pic reminds me of this!

thatcoldblackcloud - 3/16/2013, 8:38 PM
Movie Wolverine is such a bore
hope420 - 3/16/2013, 8:51 PM
If we get another Jackman movie where it ends with him holding someone and crying or sad, I'm gonna be annoyed. The majority of his movies end that way!
gambgel - 3/16/2013, 9:00 PM
yeah, no more crying Wolverine.
A really sad face at the end would be enought this time.
M3T4LL0 - 3/16/2013, 9:41 PM
@ sameoldthing

To answer your question, YES they can. The only thing that can cut through adamantium is adamantium itself.
LordOfTheZegaRealm - 3/16/2013, 9:49 PM
Duuude! I can't wait to see the trailer.
NoJobBOB - 3/16/2013, 10:06 PM
About time we get a trailer. I can't wait for it.
Screwger - 3/16/2013, 10:25 PM
@sameoldthing No, blade of Adamantium can cut almost everything except Adamantium itself and Vibranium. So, that pic is a bull and the X-men Origins Wolverine is a shit because:
First - Adamantium bullets can't destroy or fly through the Adamantium it will ricochet and that's it.
Secon - Adamantium bullets can't erase memory.
Third - The movie is shit as well as idea that Adamantium can cut through Adamantium. It is impossible .
