Fox Releases Brand New Image From ‘The Wolverine’

20th Century fox have released a brand new image from James Mangold’s The Wolverine. The film, which stars Hugh Jackman as the title character, is being described as a “Japanese noir picture with tentpole action”. After a number of rumors, it has been revealed that we are just weeks from the release of the first trailer for the highly-anticipated film.

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.

The Wolverine slashes into theaters July 26, 2013.
