The Wolverine to Be Filled with Rage Says Hugh Jackman

The Wolverine to be filled with rage says Hugh Jackman
Whether you loved it or hated it, not many can argue against the fact that 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a bloated, heavy film that, like the X-Men films before it, simply shoved to many characters and plot lines into its two hour running time. Hugh Jackman promises that won't be the case with the next installment in the further adventures of Logan.

While out promoting Real Steel this weekend, Hugh Jackman took some time out to address the impending stand alone adventure The Wolverine, and promises that it will solely focus on his character of Logan, and that he will be a leaner, meaner fighting machine.

This is what Hugh Jackman had to say about the next Marvel Mutant adventure to hit the big screen.

"The Wolverine will do the character justice and show his uncontrollable "rage". I think we've got the chance to nail the character this time, to do the hole-in-one. We haven't managed that yet. On the last movie, we complicated it with too many other characters. And there'll be more women this time, which is good. The last one was so masculine! The new film will go more into the character. I don't think we've ever seen his rage expressed properly. We're letting go with this one of the whole, 'Who am I? Where did I come from? Oh no, I've lost my memory,' thing. I feel like that's sent us all to sleep. 'Yeah, whatever pal. We're bored! Fine, you were a sushi chef, whatever it was, can we just get on with the story now?'"


Mark Bomback, whose upcoming slate includes the remakes Total Recall and Jack the Giant Killer, is currently penning an all-new draft of The Wolverine. James Mangold will direct the movie once Hugh Jackman is done fucking around on the set of that weird musical Les Miserables.

The Wolverine comes to theaters July 26th, 2013 and stars Hugh Jackman. The film is directed by James Mangold.

    @moviegeek About what? Wolverine won't be singing kumbaya? Or that Les Miserables is based on the book and not the musical? Hmm...let me answer both to the best of my abilities.

    Well, for starters, I can only make guesses, but if I had to say, I think Wolverine singing kumbaya is a bit of a stretch. It just doesn't feel like this is a "sit around the campfire and bond with your fellow man" type of film. As for Les Miserables, it appears I was mistaken. Hugh Jackman, in an article on Huffington Post, has said that he met with composers, so it does in fact appear to be based on the musical, which kind of bum me out. Anyways, I hope I was able to fully answer your question :)

    A leaner, meaner Wolverine movie sounds GREAT to me! Wolverine's my favorite mutant, and Hugh does him justice playing him! I can't wait to see it next year!

    I guess Wolverine won't be singing kumbaya in this film. Oh well :P

    @balanorange weird musical? Actually, I think they're basing the film off the great novel instead. No singing.

    @b.AlanOrange way to put your thoughts into the article. Maybe you should go back to writing in your diary about how everyone hates you and stop pretending to write for a otherwise good news site.

    @moviegeek @bawnian-dexeus @insertusernamehere: Agreed on all counts. Especially the censoring count. Even with letters that alone would be considered profane, but within another word are still censored anyway like "succ*mb." See, I hate that, it bugs the f*ck out of me when *ssholes hijack my sh*tty sentences for their own reasons.

    The best use of Wolverine's beserker rage was in X2 during the mansion attack scene. He's been kind of a p*ssy since then.

    "once Hugh Jackman is done f*cking around on the set of that weird musical Les Miserables"

    Leave the swearing to us, MW.

    Whatever they do I hope they have a bigger budget than First Class, the movie was great, but it felt kinda cheap somehow, mostly for the special fx.
