Looks interesting. I’m not a big X-Men fan by any stretch but Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has been a neat character.

    FADE IN:

    Hugh makes with the sarcastic, witty repartee.

    Hugh smokes some fools with his finger knives.

    Every woman in the movie will want Hugh immediately when he comes into view.

    The villain will find some way to overcome the fact that Hugh is sort of indestructible and heals a gunshot wound in an afternoon.

    Hugh will overcome this overcoming and win.

    FADE OUT:

    Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is pretty much Wolverine. There’s a reason he’s one of the most popular Marvel characters.

    I’d imagine the badguy will be Sabertooth, or at least the dragon will be. Wikipedia indicates that he wasn’t in the later movies precisely so they could save him for a wolverine origins movie. Sabertooth and Wolverine have almost identical powers.

    And Wolverine heals from gunshot wounds in seconds. Hell, in Civil War he healed from being burnt to a cinder while his enemy (Nitro) made a phone call.

    Let’s see: Gambit (boo, never liked him), The Blob (cool), I _think_ Emma Frost. Who else did people spy in there?

    Personally, I’d rather see a goo ol’ Alpha Flight movie. I hope some of those characters make it in.

    Also, did Wolverine fight in WWII? Is that canon? Been a while since my comic book days.

    Looks like Storm/Ororo Munroe makes an appearance as a little girl. And I think Wolverine fought in WWI, but I’m not sure.

    I thought I saw Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, but without the mask.

    Looked to me that hew was in something more like civil war garb around the 19 second mark. If you can get a clear still frame from before the smoke appears, he’s clearly carrying a flintlock with bayonet.

    Been a while since I followed Wolverine or X-Men closely. So I’ve missed several revisions of his origins. But there was a story in an early issue of Wolverine where he worked with Cap in WWII so I think that he’s significantly older than he looks has been established. (Although that particular story also had the Black Widow in it, so…

    I believe the canon origin for Wolverine is that he was born sometime in the 1800s to a wealthy family somewhere in the Americas. His name was James. After some tragedy (I forget) he runs away to the yukon and works as a logger.

    I read the graphic novel “Origin” but forgot a lot of the details.
