"I know it seems odd given, you know, the guy is already half animal," says Hugh Jackman, who revives the character in Wolverine, due in theaters May 1, 2009. "But with all the success of the X-Men, you feel the pressure to keep pushing it further."
According to USA Today, the film will trace Wolverine's past as he discovers the world of mutants and, ultimately, the ominous Weapon X program, which turns people into living weapons.
Jackman is tight-lipped on plot details, though he says the film will hardly be a one-mutant story.
Wolverine's nemesis Sabretooth "is going to play a big part in it. And there will be a good bit of cameos" of new and familiar mutants, he says. "But you can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film."
X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released May 1st, 2009 and stars Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Will i Am, Lynn Collins, Kevin Durand, Dominic Monaghan, Taylor Kitsch. The film is directed by Gavin Hood.

With all these cast members signing up for the movie, I am concerned in regards to their acting ability, some of them cannot even act.I hope the script, directing and editing is done well.

just finished reading your comment Andy,, well then Bryan Singer f*cked us, then they got Ratner? it could have been the best of the lot, thats why i'm slightly peed off bout it!
but Ratner did throw in the "Sentinel" head scene at the start, so bit of credit there.....

X3 was okay. Like rad said, it was enjoyable. I liked it better than most people did, but Pheonix wasn't what she should've been. I actually wanted to see the pheonix force. And we shouldn't blame it all on Brett Ratner. He did what he could in a short amount of time cuz Singer left to direct Returns.

It didn't help that Brett Ratner directed X3. He ain't directing Wolverine so it'l be great!

Yeah, well I guess I hate it so much because I was expecting X3 to be amazing considering how much better X2 was that the first X-Men, which is also awesome. But it just felt like a typical action movie with no substance.

"X2" was even better than "Begins"!!! X3 was ok, an enjoyable 2 hours, but it doesn't leave you with the WOW factor the rest did!

Hopefully you are confusing X-Men United for Last Stand. X-Men United is one of the best made comic book movies ever, next to Batman Begins. Last Stand sucked hard.
