The Wolverine Makes his Point on EW’s Latest Cover
23 May 2013 9:42 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
In lieu of actual movie news (short on that today, alas), here’s the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly featuring a buff Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. You gotta wonder how much longer he can continue playing the mutant who never ages. Jackman is already 44, and although dude is in ridiculously good shape, if he can get another “Wolverine” movie made in, say, a few years, he’d be well into his late ’40s. Then what? A reboot, obviously. Don’t be surprise when you start hearing sites getting “exclusives” about a “Wolverine” reboot in, say, 3-4 years from now. You heard it here first! Until then, here’s the cover. And in case you missed it, here’s the latest trailer for the movie: “The Wolverine” stars Hugh Jackman, Brian Tee, Will Yun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Rila Fukushima, James Fraser, Tao Okamoto, Hal Yamanouchi, and is directed by James Mangold. »

Hugh Jackman: 'The Wolverine is a little different to X-Men'
23 May 2013 9:11 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Hugh Jackman has promised something "a little different" from The Wolverine.
The star said that the tone of the upcoming movie is not like his past X-Men outings.
"[Wolverine's] sort of interested in [the offer of mortality], because if your life is not great and there is a lot of regret and pain, would it be great to live on and on?" he told CNN.
"Yes, [The Wolverine] is a character piece, and I would say it may be a little darker in tone than the others, and it certainly feels a little different, [but] it's just as much fun. The action in this is probably more inventive than we've ever had before."
Jackman revealed that he sought advice from his friend Dwayne Johnson - aka The Rock - when approaching his exercise and diet regime for the movie.
