Director James Mangold Unveils A Few Behind The Scene Snaps From THE WOLVERINE

My anticipation keeps going up about this. I think we might be surprised

This will be to 2013 what First Class was to 2011. A very good movie, that has very low expectations going in. I've dug everything I've seen so far, which is the exact opposite from what I said about Origins four years ago. That and Mangold directed one hell of a Western, and any cinema snob knows that Japanese Samarai movies and Westerns have very much in common from a narrative stand point. I honestly think I'll like this better than IM 3.

The Wolverine? Don't you mean The Logan?

This is gonna suck. I can feel it.

That woman peeling her face off is freaky deaky.

I really hope this gets an "R" rating cuz I don't see wolverine fighting 50
Ninjas (ala-kill bill style) without there being a ton of blood. Not to mention the photo released with wolverine's bloody claws.

Wolverine and ironman 3 r my top two for this summer by far... Wolverine and batman r my two favorite cb characters and both movies will make bank this summer.

Man of steel looks good, but I don't see it surpassing ironman3, due mostly to the fact that ironman has a built in fanbase, and all the marvel movies are killing in the box office, regardless of the characters...

getting kinda worried about this movie

they better be workin on that train sequence... it looked pretty bad in the trailer, everything else looked really awesome

@MarkV: That's Viper.

Yeah can someone explain this to me, I know Viper is essential to the story and all but I thought she was a member of Hydra, you know big Cap villain. How did Fox get the rights to a non-mutant?

"Yeah can someone explain this to me, I know Viper is essential to the story and all but I thought she was a member of Hydra, you know big Cap villain. How did Fox get the rights to a non-mutant?"

That all depends. Example 1: Marvel and Fox share rights to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. So long as Fox doesn't bring up their Avengers affiliation or Marvel Studios' their father or touch too heavily on their mutant heritage, it's cool. And that's ex-member of HYDRA. There's no reason for Viper to have ever been Madam Hydra in this iteration. In the comics, Madam Hydra had since quit HYDRA when she killed the original Viper and took his name. So long as HYDRA never comes up, there's no conflict.

Should the character appear in a Captain America film, it would likely be explicitly as Madam Hydra and their take would probably be rather different anyway.

Example 2: The Kingpin. His rights actually belong to Sony. His character, at the time Daredevil was made, was on loan to the Daredevil production through a specific deal made at the time. It could be Marvel made a limited character loan specific to Viper provided, as I mentioned above, no mention of any HYDRA affiliation be used.

And yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the Kingpin thing shakes out now that the Sony/Fox deal doesn't exist anymore. Sony can now allegedly use him free and clear in a Spider-Man film, so who knows what means for any Marvel Studios take on Daredevil. Aren't character licenses fun?!

Well, at least this Logan movie has one thing going for it...... They can actually make a WOLVERINE movie at some point, and include the memory implants part of his story to make these Logan movies false memories. :)
