First look at Wolverine prequel

Take a nice long look, ladies. Hugh Jackman can strain those neck muscles all day.

This small pic is all we get from the upcoming prequel painfully entitled X-Men: Origins: Wolverine. The film will follow the adventures of our favorite Canucklehead all the way up the first X-Men film… which like any prequel project… is confusing. The new film is the one that came before the one you saw first.

Jackman has been quoted as saying that he is very aware of the pressure that this film is under. The first X-Men film won over a Hollywood that had little interest in super hero flicks… and we all saw where that got us.

But there is still a good chance that a Wolverine solo film could work.

Rumor is that Sabretooth ( a character sidelined to mere muscle in the X-Men film who was much more pivotal in the comics) will play a large role in the plot, and that should please comic book fans to no end.

And that’s what it’s all about right? Pleasing us comic book fans.
