There are a lot of great freebies on offer during tomorrow's "Free Comic Book Day", including a sneak peek at Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Superman: Unchained, the first chapter of Marvel's Infinity event and a collection of The Walking Dead character stories from Image. In the following video, Hugh Jackman promotes the event (and also makes sure to mention his film, The Wolverine).









Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

I think he's trying to say something about The Wolverine, but I'm not sure.

Jackman needs to take a break from this crap. Seriously, this is just like a big cash grab. And Silver [frick]ing Samurai being a real steel robot is stupid.

He did one of these right after X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out as well. As bad as that movie was his promotion of FCBD was the first I had heard of it. I went to my local comic shop and picked up Blackest Night #0, Flash Rebirth #1, and a handful of Death and Return of Superman comics. I've been hooked ever since.

He's only referred to "The Wolverine/Wolverine" when he's in his outfit/costume/suit. Otherwise, he's just Logan in normal clothing.

A lot of you really are something.

Hugh Jackman is an example of an actor who, through his strong dedication to the character, has truly embodied his comic book role. Hugh HAS BECOME Wolverine due to his dedication and love for the character on its own.

Despite the bad Wolverine film, its admirable for him to continue playing the character. What? are we going to insult RDJ for playing Iron Man in Iron Man 2 or 3?

Jackman rocks, and honestly is probably the most grateful actor to ever be in a superhero movie role (Hiddleston being a close 2nd).

Why so much hate on Jackman? Origins didn't suck because of him and he is a great person. He IS Wolverine! Wolverine kicking ass in Japan is definitely something I will shell out to see!
