Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance at Thursday's Comic-Con. Straight off the plane from Australia where he said they had just finished filming.

Jackman made a point to give a shout-out to Wolverine creator Len Wein. "I have to shake your hand because from it came my career," Jackman said as he hopped off stage and waded through the crowd to shake hands with Wein. He also mentioned that he was happy that they were finally making an appearance at the Comic-Con.

Attendees then got the first look at the Wolverine Origins movie, starting off with Wolverine and Sabretooth being executed by a firing squad, with Wolverine stating that it "tickled" when asked how being executed felt.

A younger William Stryker appears, recruiting for a new "team" he is putting together, and he (obviously) wants none-other than Wolverine and Sabretooth.

The trailer featured a ton of action, and at one point featured Gambit throwing a handful of cards, and laying the smack down with his staff. We also saw a little bit of Deadpool kicking some butt.

The teaser footage ended with Wolverine facing off against Sabretooth and declaring "I'm going to cut your goddamned head off. See if that works."

After the video footage, Hugh Jackman said "The movie is big, it is action packed ... It's bad ass."

"You're going to see a lot of berserker rage."

He also mentioned that we would be seeing more of him at Wonder Con to promote the new movie.

Hugh Jackman said that Wolverine is "one of the best comic book characters ever created." Judging by the trailer that we saw, Wolverine Origins looks like it's shaping up to be one of the top movies next year.
