The Wolverine's New Trailer: What's New and Why You Shouldn't Skip It

It's been four years since Hugh Jackman flexed his claws for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and a few months since we got the first trailer of him in this year's follow-up, The Wolverine.

It's been four years since Hugh Jackman flexed his claws for X-Men Origins: Wolverine and a few months since we got the first trailer of him in this year's follow-up, The Wolverine. We already know this movie takes place after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, when Logan flees to Japan. In this new instalment, a man whose life he once saved offers to give him the gift of mortality, but that doesn't mean he gets to lead a peaceful life. People are still after him, and this time Logan's not exactly equipped to fight. The second trailer has dropped, and even if you've already seen the first one, there are some key differences.

  • Jean Grey is back. OK, so she's just back in dream form, but the late Jean (Famke Janssen) makes an appearance in this trailer. It seems poor Logan is being tormented by the memory of his former lover — is this some kind of foreshadowing? Will he ever be able to move on and find someone new?
  • It's not as cryptic as the first trailer. While the first trailer devotes precious time to catching up with Wolverine (he's hiding out in remote bars, Skyfall-style), this one gets right down to the point. He agrees to undergo some type of experimental treatment that will make him slightly more human, and in the midst of his sessions, he gets attacked. Speaking of . . .
  • More action! There's extended footage of a crazy fight on top of trains, but even more exciting? There's some kind of giant robot-ninja — ninja-robot? I'll be curious to see how the transitioning Wolverine can handle such an opponent.

The Wolverineopens July 25, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

You've gotta admire Joel Madden.

You've gotta admire Joel Madden. After all, it takes a brave man to admit he hadn't noticed his wife's haircut — especially when said amazing haircut is being talked about the world over! But he's not the only celebrity husband who's got people talking, albeit for very different reasons: Reese Witherspoon's husband, Jim Toth, said something that writer Kelly Oxford can't quite believe — find out what in here! Revenge's Ashley Madewke doesn't mince words when she has something to say, Katy Perry sounds a little lonely and Rebel Wilson has a serious dilemma on her hands. And that's not even the half of it!

Hugh Jackman Strolls Through Manhattan After a Strange Stalker Incident

Hugh Jackman, his wife Deborra-lee Furness and their daughter Ava went for a stroll to Pier 90 in Manhattan yesterday.

Hugh Jackman, his wife Deborra-lee Furness and their daughter Ava went for a stroll to Pier 90 in Manhattan yesterday. Deborra-lee held Ava’s hand as Hugh took charge of their dog, Dali. The family outing came after a bizarre Saturday morning for Hugh, which involved a stalker incident while he was working out at the gym. According to the New York Post, an alleged female stalker stormed into the West Village gym and threw an electric razor at the star that was half-filled with pubic hair. She was then dragged away by staffers.

Strange fan encounters aside, Hugh is shaping up for another busy year. The trailer for The Wolverine was released last month, and he will soon start work on the next film in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The Wolverine Trailer: Has Hugh Jackman Been Declawed?

In the trailer for The Wolverine, we're reunited with Hugh Jackman's X-Men persona, Wolverine/Logan, and this time we're seeing him at what appears to be his weakest.

In the trailer for The Wolverine, we're reunited with Hugh Jackman's X-Men persona, Wolverine/Logan, and this time we're seeing him at what appears to be his weakest. Taking place after the events in X-Men: The Last Stand, this movie finds Wolverine sought out by a man in Japan he once saved decades earlier from an atomic bomb. Out of gratitude, the much-older man wants to give Wolverine a very special gift to end the pain he's endured for years: mortality. Turns out, mortality isn't quite what it's cut out to be when you're used to magically healing (bullets and Samurai swords hurt and stuff!).

Since this is Jackman's fifth outing as the character (sixth, if you count his cameo in 2011's X-Men: First Class), I was hoping to see a fresh angle on the superhero's story or on the character itself. Unfortunately, I don't see too much that's new here, aside from the setting and the lack of other X-Men. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong when the movie comes out July 25, and you can decide for yourself by watching the trailer after the jump.
