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.

For those of you who are unaware, “Gangnam Style” is a song from Korean pop star PSY that has taken the internet by storm. The viral video is pretty difficult to describe, so if you still haven’t seen it just bring up YouTube and look for the one with an absurd amount of views.

Because of how popular the song and its video have become, PSY has become a star, and has been making appearances all over the place. Recently he was able to even visit the set of the upcoming sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, titled The Wolverine, where he met up with star Hugh Jackman.

Of course the duo had do a little “Gangnam Style” while together, and the event was documented. You can check out the video 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.

Just a week after it was announced that Jessica Biel was in talks to play Viper in James Mangold‘s The Wolverine, it was announced that she was no longer in talks to play as the venomous character. That left another empty spot on the casting list, and with Mangold ready to start production, the search for a replacement began.

But the search is now over again, because Svetlana Khodchenkova is in talks to play as Viper. According to sources, even though negotiations are being held it’s expected that the deal will be completed very soon.

Usually when an actor enters into negotiations, it’s reported as if said actor has already landed the role. The reason for this is that, on most occasions, the negotiations between the two parties are merely a formality. This is not one of those cases.

It was recently reported that Jessica Biel had entered into negotiations to star alongside Hugh Jackman in his X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel, The Wolverine. But now comes word that talks between Biel and 20th Century Fox have broken down, and the actress will not be appearing in the movie after all.
