If there’s any movie superheros that needed some bolstering, it would be Wolverine. The first chapter in his origins story failed to live up to expectations, but James Mangold‘s upcoming The Wolverine will try to rebuild the legendary character’s name. We’ve already seen the first trailer, and this new trailer isn’t what you could call a typical trailer in sense; it was edited for those who attended Cinema Con, and although there is some familiar footage, there is a key scene in it that could make the film worth your while.

Two key scenes in this trailer to focus on are the overwhelmingly amount of ninjas that nearly bring Wolverine to his knees, and the Silver Samurai tease that I’m sure we’ll get to see more of when another trailer comes out.

Hit the jump to check it out.

Earlier this week, we saw 6 seconds of director James Mangold‘s The Wolverine. Today, Twentieth Century Fox has unveiled the first official trailers (domestic and international) for the upcoming film.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, The Wolverine finds Logan (Hugh Jackman) traveling to Japan to start a new life after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand (the third X-Men film). In Japan, he encounters the enigmatic Silver Samurai, played by Will Yun Lee, as well as Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) and Yukio (Rila Fukushima).

Here below, check out both the International and Domestic trailers, which feature a few different bits of dialogue amidst the action.

Vine gives us a whole new way of viewing the world of social media. You can tell an entire story with just one 6-second (or less) video. Studios have caught on to the craze and are now releasing portions of their movie in six seconds and redefining the way we see teasers. The latest marketing bit using Vine comes from Fox who will be releasing The Wolverine on July 26, 2013.

Hit the jump to see the new teaser and a couple of new images and a brand new poster for the film.

Anyone who watches the teaser for The Wolverine can assume that a lot will happen in this trailer. The full trailer lands later this week, which will give us a better glimpse at the plot of the film.

Film adaptations have a nasty habit of changing lore in the properties they are based on. Take for instance X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Originally Logan (Hugh Jackman) only had a healing ability, which is why he is able to live for so long. However, a metal bonding procedure allowed the mutant to have an indestructible skeleton and inadvertently gave Logan the ability to produce claws. Now the film adaptation said that he was born with the claws as opposed to having gained the ability to unleash claws at will. These kinds of changes, while small, have a huge impact on how fans perceive the character – remember how mad Spider-Man fans were when Sam Raimi didn’t include artificial webshooters?

Now it appears that James Mangold‘s The Wolverine will return to Logan having these bone claws, but the film might not take place where you might think in the chronicles of the X-Men Cinematic Universe. While it’s confirmed that Logan will be in Japan, the film was thought to be a prequel. Check out a new photo and details on where in the X-Men timeline The Wolverine might take place here below.

Hugh Jackman has gone through some serious workouts to turn his body into everyone’s favorite lonesome mutant Wolverine. Now we are getting a first look at the results of those workout sessions. 20th Century Fox, via Ryan Penagos’ Twitter, has revealed the first image of a seriously ripped Jackman as Wolverine in James Mangold’s The Wolverine.

Check out the larger, full image below.

The first image isn’t spoilery at all, it’s more like something to accompany the announcement that The Wolverine is coming to theaters on July 26, 2013. The film will take place after the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where Logan finds himself in Tokyo, Japan trying to recall his lost memories. There he falls in love with a local woman and fights against the Yakuaza and a mutant Samurai.
