Images From The New WOLVERINE Trailers

Full UK Trailer For THE WOLVERINE

Logan Heading Back To WWII In 'THE WOLVERINE'

An image from the Australian set found by SuperHeroHype (via SlashFilm) has confirmed that The Wolverine will feature WWII scenes involving a Japanese prisoner camp, planes and the atomic bombs used during the war. The image below has a board littered with concept art for the film. It has real war/fallout photos mixed with the film's artwork. It will be interesting to see if Logan (now plagued amnesia) made powerful enemies during that time. Not to mention that sequence with Wolverine holding the sword against the planes looks pretty impressive. How much of the film will be set in this period is unknown considering Origins ended sometime in the late 70's/early 80's. Some other set images also confirm this with the practical pieces begin put together.

'THE WOLVERINE' Gets A Solid Supporting Cast

SuperHeroHype reports that Fox has cast Japanese actors in supporting roles in The Wolverine. They include Hiroyuki Sanada (Sunshine, The Last Samurai, Twilight Samurai) set to play villain Shingen, Hal Yamanouchi (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) plays Yashida, newcomers Tao Okamoto and Rila Fukishima will play Mariko and Yuiko.

HeatVision reports that newcomer Will Yung Lee (Red Dawn, Total Recall) will play the Silver Samurai another villain of the picture.

TwitchFilm has word that actress Svetlana Khodchenkova (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) is in the mix for the role of villainess Viper. Fox has also put out offer to Jessica Biel (Total Recall) according to Deadline. Biel seems like more of draw considering her recent action packed part in Total Recall.
