Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, a code name the teaser trailer for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" reveals he chose himself, will apparently claw through everything in sight in the movie.
About two and a half-minutes of clips from the movie show that Logan was once wealthy enough to afford a haircut as a boy. But before he could go to the barbershop, Logan's father was killed. Years later, one of the loves of his life is hunted down. More time thereafter, Logan holds a musket and a rifle while fighting in two obvious major American wars.
Which is exactly why the troubled bad boy with mutant-sized mutton chops agrees to allow a young William Stryker (Danny Huston) align his skeleton with adamantium steel in a not-so-Matrix-green interpretation of the infamous Weapon X laboratory scene. An opportunity for revenge seems to lock the deal.
When the new persona of Wolverine emerges and runs a rampage, his healing factor no longer ejects a bullet from an entry wound in a matter of seconds as happened in "X2: X-Men United," presumably because this would serve to stifle his subsequent berserker barrage. His body simply deflects a bullet without leaving behind an incendiary mark.
But this teaser trailer indicates that action sequences are what "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is all about.
Once or before Wolverine escapes the Weapon X complex, he goes up against The Blob (Kevin Durand) in a boxing ring.
Not to mention combating a charged-playing-card-wielding Gambit (Taylor Kitsch) in an alleyway, military helicopters in mid air and a subtly bestial Sabretooth.
X-Men fans are also able to catch a glimpse in the teaser trailer of other never-before-seen-in-a-movie mutants such as Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), Silver Fox (Lynn Collins) and Emma Frost (not Sigourney Weaver).
If this teaser of the movie is any indication, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has the potential to be either a very poignant tragedy inspired from the pages of Marvel Comics or a revenge-driven action bonanza set in an exaggerated comic book world. What can be presumed from the two minutes and 32 seconds is that either kind of movie is sure to find an enthusiastic audience on May 1, 2009.
