The Real Final X-Men Origins: Wolverine Trailer Online

We mentioned yesterday that the final X-Men Origins Wolverine Trailer was out, or that it was a teaser to a longer trailer.

Well now we have the final trailer and in fact the version bouncing around yesterday wasn’t the final one.

I like seeing Wolverine in different parts of his very long life. Civil war Logan was cool too. And I am very excited that they are making his “claws” to be natural, and not a bionic implant in the Weapon X process.

  1. I had a couple questions for you Xmen fanatics. I just got into the movies, never read the comics. I followed the movies pretty well and then I saw a commercial for Xmen Origins.

    My first question is if this new movie is like the Batman Begins movies. Like, is this movie suppose to lead us into Xmen 1-3? Or is it basically an Xmen 4?

    If its an Xmen “begins” kinda thing. Then if Jean and Cyclopse knew Wolvarine, why was he introduced to them in the first Xmen movie?

    If its an Xmen 4 kinda thing, then how does he have natural claw bones? Or do you think that will be explained in the movie. I mean, it would make since if it shows clips of him as a boy with natural bones and he doesnt remember that in the first Xmen movies and they got changed into the metal ones.

    Also, if its an Xmen 4, why would Wolvarine be going and reconstructing himself into this horrible monster? What happened to the school? And I thought Cyclopse died?

    So confused, please help

    1. This movie is a sequel. It all takes place before the events of XMen 1. This is why they call it Origins.

      No where in this movie does Scott or Jean meet Wolverine. Scott is in the movie, but apparently in a very minor role vaguely tying Wolverine’s past to his. Jean is not in the movie at all.

      Wolverine was born with the bone claws which were enhanced by the WeaponX project when they laced his skeleton with Adamantium. This is explained in the comics and likely will be in the movie as well.

      Its not a continuation of XMen 3 – this all takes place before, and the “monster” you see Wolverine being made into is simply part of his past that somehow was wiped from his memory and you see him trying to figure out in side stories throughout the XMen films.

  2. All I know is, I can’t wait until this movie comes out.

    A friend of mine was trying to say the Wolverine movie was going to suck but I’ve been a fan forever so I’m definitely going to watch it when it comes out.

  3. OK so I am not going to expect much from this movie, considering that the trailer was all action which suggests to me that there will be very little story. I expect it will be child to weapon x in 60 minutes followed by 30minutes of wolverine destroying the weapon x facility and finishing with him trying to hunt down those responsible. If this is the case then it also seems to me that they are not going to touch on the issue of Logan having his memmory wiped. Oh well I guess we will have to see.

  4. I think the movie just looks okay. I do like the war stuff. But the rest of it wouldn’t work. Cyclops in a Wolverine orgin film? Sabertooth? I dunno. It’s not something I think I’ll spend my money on.

  5. Wow. Looks like its gonna be a while before we get a comic book movie that will be a real oscar threat like Dark Knight.Saw Watchmen. IT was crap. This trailer looks crap. Can they please stop making crap comic book movies?

    1. Since when does EVERYTHING have to be Oscar worthy? The Oscars exist because of the movies, not the other way around.

      I know you hate the hero genre Gary, but at least try to make sense in your bitter rants about them.

      Can they stop making crap dramas? Can they stop making crap horror? Can they stop making crap comedy?

      In some magical world where every movie made has to pass your approval first is the world where everyone says “can Gary stop making crap movies?”

  6. I actually thought that was a pretty sweet trailer. But why can’t any of these trailers tell us about what’s actually happening in this movie? They’re all a bit confusing in that sence. Other than that, I actually like what I’m seeing.

    I do have my doubts about the quality of this film, but I’m not saying a thing until I see the real movie

  7. Wow, really sweet trailer, but will the story be up to par?

    As someone who has grown up with X-Men comics and cartoons, they are by far my favorite team comic book, but the more X-Men films that come out, the more I try to tell my self that these aren’t really the movie versions of the comics. They are simply a spin on what I know and love, and nothing more.

    As badly as I want them to make a really good X-Men movie, or movies, that will be 80% or more faithful to the source material, both story and character wise, I’ve come to terms that this will never happen in my life time. So instead I’m stuck with this. Which is fine, I mean theirs not much else we X-Men fans can do until Fox finally gives up the film rights to the X-Men and lets Marvel have it’s baby back, but it’s been so long since Fox first got the rights, will that eve happen?

    I suppose first I should wait and see how Marvel Films does with a comic team movie, that being Avengers, before I pass judgment, but Marvel Films couldn’t do any worse then Fox, could they?

    Anyway, comic book movies are getting allot better now, I mean they’re already at the point of winning Oscars for the acting involved in them, could the X-Men movies ever catch up to this? No, not at this rate.

    But still, it just really kills me that, as much as I love Batman, I love the X-Men even more and so far great films wise its by far Bats 2, X-Men 1. As great as the Wolverine trailers look, I’ll be hugely surprised if I come out of that theater on opening night thinking that’s finally another good X-Men movie…

    1. the xmen films are adaptations not exact translation, but ive never read an xmen comic so i really dont know how accurate they are to the films, but ive enjoyed the first two

  8. I don’t know, Hugh Jackman just doesn’t have the cowboy swager that I’ve always associated with Wolverine. I may be in the minority, but I’m not looking forward to this at all.

  9. After looking close at this trailer I am starting to have a sense of this film as not being X-men Origins Wolverine, and more like X-men 4 thats a prequel. Im just not feeling good about this movie the more i see of it.

  10. The claws that come out in the last scene look extremely fake for 2009 standards. I’m sorry but this movie looks lame. Civil Ware Logan looked cool but then showing him at Normandy was pushing it. Gambit, looks cheesy it all looks to over the top and corny in the same fashion as Spider-Man. It has Ryan Rednolds it can’t be any worse. It actually amkes me think McG’s T4 looks better.

    The only good thing is Hugh jackman.

  11. Not excited for this movie at all. They fucked too much with shit and now its become this abomination of historically accurate fact with a ton of fiction and creative liberties.

    This is deadpool (http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/336/deadpool5iy.gif) not what they’ve done with Ryan Reynolds.

    The one thing I do like is that they gave Wolvie his bone claws which were then clad with adamantium during the WeaponX experiments.

  12. I really do want to like this movie. But the franchise is starting to be less and less like the real X-Men with each film. So much so that I’m not even excited to see Gambit and Deadpool on the big screen at last, since it’s not even them now.

    X-Men is a cautionary tale of what happens when you start out making little changes to something when you adapt it to the screen. After a while they lead to huge, gaping, obvious differences and nothing comes close to the source material any longer.

    I am extremely doubtful that this film will satisfactorily explain why Sabretooth has met Wolverine later in life and barely acknowledges him. Nor why Logans claws were previously built in, and are now natural.

    And if they make an X4 (or will it be X5?) how do you move forward without Prof X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and all the other inconsistencies the franchise has brought with it.

    I know you cant keep EVERYTHING the same, but needless changes for the sake of it have lead to each subsequent X-film sucking a little more each time because of it.

    1. I’m a bit confused? You do know that Logan’s claws are in fact a natural part of his mutation and not something “installed” by Weapon X right? No offensive intended, just askin’!

    2. They never said Cyclops died…hell even in the comic when he meets the phoenix at one point he loses his memory and goes around the world…so that could be use to bring him back…just sayin…but trailer kicked Booty Sweat!!

    3. how do you move forward without Prof X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and all the other inconsistencies the franchise has brought with it.

      It’s a lot easier than you think. Professor X is revealed to be alive (sort of) in the tag end of XMen 3.

      Jean Grey is gone; but Famke could come back… think Madeline Pryor. And, not much is said about Scott/Cyclops…we never actually saw him die. Jean/Pheonix “thinks” she killed him, but isn’t sure. Thus Cyke is presumed dead.

      Or, if you like…

      A Days Of Futures Past like scenario (saving Senator Kelly!) might alter the timeline to a point where:
      -Cyclops, Jean Grey and/or The Professor live. Senator Kelly too.
      Not a reboot… but a perfect retcon.

      Not that anyone at Fox/Marvel would ever do anything like that…

    4. there is way too much to take from the source material. they just got the good parts and took some liberties with them. looks good to me. and wolverine has always had bone claws- just like his older brother.

    5. Considering they show a 6 year old Logan popping some bone claws was my first hint.

      And the history of his claws is clouded in contradictions all through the comic books. Back in the beginning there was an issue of XMen where Wolverine’s Gloves were taken away from him so he couldnt cut himself free. Later they contradicted that and said the bones were installed by the Weapon X project (Marvel Universe entry even shows an XRay of the spring loaded blade housings in his arm) Then later again when he had the adamantium ripped from his bones by Magneto he himself acted surprised when he popped bone claws.

      So the official answer in the comics is that they are part of his mutation, though more than once in his long history have they contradicted that.

    6. Shane, I have to agree with an above comment that your distaste for this film is your lack of knowledge of the source material.

      With nearly 50 years of the comics around, there is plenty to draw from, and for the most part some liberties are taken but at its core this is X-Men.

      The “changes” you speak of are a natural part of storytelling. For whatever reasons they choose (actors unavailable, fit for storyline, etc) having a different cast of XMen has always been the case. You think they cant have XMen without Scott Jean or Xavier?

      Clearly you have never read the comics for more than a year. And as mentioned, bringing any of those characters back with a legitimate storyline is completely acceptable. Its happened before.

    7. I am quite familiar with the X-Men comics, I’ve been a fan for years. I’m not one of those people who insists that every little detail has to be faithful, or gets upset because of the color of someones hair or a costume not being exactly the same. But I do like to see some consistency within a franchise’s sequels.

      I KNOW that the bone claws are correct. But the problem is that in the first X-Men movie, when Wolverine was x-rayed, his claws in that film were mechanical implants. They should have stuck with the bone claws from the beginning, because now when they have come back to do the origin, they have to change what they already said about them in the first film.

      Sabertooth was in X1, and didn’t acknowledge any history with Logan. Now we see they’ve known each other for years?

      Maybe I’m making assumptions, and perhaps all of this will be explained. I hope so, because that would be great. Like I said in the first place, I really WANT to like this film. But it’s the growing inconsistencies they have to have, due to the fact they changed things originally when they shouldn’t have, that is starting to make a mess of things. It’s becoming like the 90s Bat franchise, when Harvey Dent began as Billy Dee Williams and became Tommy Lee Jones a few films later.

      Oh, and if they’re going to just bring back Prof X, Cyke and Jean, then that will make things even more ridiculous. Why kill them off in the first place, and waste valuable screen time explaining why they’re now not dead.

      Ultimately, these things won’t stop the film being good or bad on it’s own, but overall it ruins a franchise.

    8. Wow Shane, for someone who claims to know so much about the books you sure miss out a lot.

      In the Weapon X program they already made it clear that his bone claws were reinforced by the program When they installed sharpened flat blades in his arms.

      Wolverine DID recognize a familiar scent in the scene where he first fights Sabertooth. Because he didn’t announce his mysterious past in dialouge doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

      And as explained in pretty much every scene dealing with Wolverine’s past, he has problems remembering much of it.

      And honestly, changing the actor in a role is a momentary distraction but it doesn’t affect the plot if the character is played right.

    9. No Rodney, I don’t think I’ve missed anything here. I think you might be confusing the comic origins with what has already been retold in the films. It’s been a while since I’ve watched X1, but his claws in that film were man made, and he had clearly never met Sabertooth. It stood out to me then, as I thought it would come back and bite them later, as it messed with the chance to tell some more interesting history about Logan. Lo and behold, now it has. And to counter that, they just have to ignore what was already set out in X1.

      Don’t try telling me that because Wolverine sniffs the air when Sabertooth first appears, that’s a suitable acknowledgment of how much history these two characters now have. It was quite clear in X1, that in THAT film the two had no real history like they did in the comics. I hope there’s a good reason why they didn’t recognize each other. If there is, then I’ll be happy. I don’t know for sure yet.

      And I didn’t mention any problem with simply having a different actor play a part. Again, I’m not someone to get all upset over that. Only when an actor has no resemblance at all to whoever previously payed the part. (The old Harvey Dent comparison was because the character went from a young good looking black man, to an old wrinkly white man. That’s not a momentary distraction, that’s a blatant disregard for the previous films.) Likewise, Sabertooth in this film looks NOTHING like he does in X-Men. In X1 he has long blond hair, black eyes, and is much bigger. Now he’s clearly smaller overall, has short black hair and normal eyes. Again, I hope this change in appearance is explained. And it could very well be, in which case I will be very pleased.

      I tried to find a picture, but I clearly remember that when X1 was released they had a prop replica of Wolvie’s claws, as they appeared in the X-Ray and they were entirely mechanical implants, with springs and screws in place. Since no real time was ever spent explaining them or looking too closely at them in the film, this won’t be as much of a big deal to re-write. But in X1 they were not a part of his body, they were entirely man-made.

      Ultimately, none of these inconsistencies will effect each film on their own. But overall, it makes it a much less rewarding experience as a fan of a franchise.

      And those are just the things that have cropped up with Logan. What about Juggernaut having no relation to Prof X? The fact he is a mutant? What about Gambit not knowing Rogue, and Iceman and Rogue being a couple instead?

    10. you know shane he could have dyed his hair blonde and it could have grown out between the events in this films and the events in the first xmen….just sayin

    11. Shane if you over analyze anything to death you can convince yourself of anything.

      Rogue is playing the archetype that Kitty once played in the comics. And in the comics even Rogue and Bobby had a brief romance. Yes. I have read THEM ALL.

      Wolverine by character is always closed lipped about his past. Partly because he doesn’t know how much of it is even real, and partly because its no one else’s damned business. It was VERY in character for him not to say anything about recognizing Sabertooth. If he even did. There is a LOT of memory loss.

      And Like mentioned below, it is possible that Creed took on a different appearance as time went on. Clearly he becomes more animal like in appearance and simple minded. Perhaps as he gets older the animal instinct. Perhaps something Wolvie does in the movie will labotomize him.

      If WeaponX Project had simply laced his bone claws with adamantium, he would have had rounded pokey claws instead of crafted flat sharpened blades. Obviously after the procedure to lace his bones, they built more effective blades. I don’t see why this is such a hard thing for you to understand or concieve as a possibility. They didn’t just pump him full of metal, they “spent billions of dollars making him indestructible”. Nothing in X1 says they were NOT part of his body, just that the bones were clearly enhanced. They could easily have been inspired by the originals to give him more efficient ones.

      I was not bothered by any of the “inconsistencies” since this is an adaptation of the comics. Plenty is clearly in line with the comics, but it is obvious that they are not attempting canon any more than they attempted Canon with the Ultimates line of comics, or the cartoon, or the other cartoon, or that other one.

      Juggernaut as a mutant instead of gifted invulnerability magically. Who cares. Not a big deal. Gambit hasn’t been introduced yet, and never met Rogue, so whats the issue?

      None of that matters. This is not the same universe and is not canon with the comics. They are inspired by plenty in the books and they really capture the spirit of it. I LOVE the interactions between Xavier and Erik.

    12. Rodney, I don’t think you really understand what I’m even trying to say here. It’s like you’re imposing the view points of many different people on to what I’m saying just to get across some points you want to make.

      I’ve stated that I don’t care if some things change due to this being an adaptation. I don’t expect to see everything stay the same. But what I do expect, as a matter of quality within a film franchise, is for things that have been established as cannon within this world, to be adhered to.

      From where I stand, I think our only real difference of opinion is that you’re not bothered by the fact they MAY be expecting us to somehow justify a character now having a totally different appearance, behaviour and history to what was previously established in the first film. I think that’s extremely poor form for the franchise, though it may not effect this as a standalone film. I hope that this film will not be expecting that on one hand we know about what has happened in this first 3 films, but at the same time expect we don’t know or remember other things.

      I’m not arguing about which origin story for the claws is right. But this film franchise already said they were man made. If he goes into the Adamantium applying tank, and pops up with his claws fully built… they’ve totally ignored cannon from this franchise. That’s TOTALLY different to adapting the comic story for the film. I don’t have a problem with them being man made or bone; but just stick with one.

      All that of course, is assuming that these issues are not explained in some way. Which I’ve admitted it could very well do, in which case it’s not even an issue. If the film shows Wolverine having his claws enhanced, and shows Creed devolving into the more animalistic form he later takes on… I’ll be pleased. I agree with all of your logic about how these can be explained. I just hope that is how the film presents it too.

      The only problem then is going to be all of the other origins and powers and history they’ve totally changed for other characters. Which will then have to be ignored or justified in some way when they want to retell other great X-Men stories that somehow rely upon those elements. And that’s the real point I’m trying to make here; changing things for no logical reason, means wasted time or poor story telling later on.

    13. shane
      dude there is no mention of his claws being man made in the first xmen or x2, all they mention is that the adamantium was grafted throuhout his entire body, and as for the part about sabortooth, well maybe wolverine does something to him in this film to where it turns his hair blonde in the same manner that rogue got her white streak of hair at the end of the first xmen and the same could be said about wolverine and sabortooth not remembering each other

    14. and shane i did hear rumor that they are planning a sequel, so if they dont touch on these issues in this film then that could mean that they will in a sequel

    15. His hair turning blond doesnt have to be anything like Rogue.

      His change of appearance can be any number of reasons all of which we do not know. Hair colour is irrelevant. They change an actor, and everything about his appearance changes. Are we really going to bicker over hair colour?

      Mentally he seems more animal like and simplistic. Maybe at some point Wolverine will drive a claw through his head and render him simple. We don’t know.

    16. lol yes rodney we fanboys like to bithc about the most urrevelant issues first it was the issue of the color of kirk’s shirt, then it was goku not being asian, now its sabortooth’s hair color, next it will be devastator’s color scheme lol

    17. Oh yes, it is such silly, nit-picking, fan-boy bitching for me to expect a film to have some sort of continuity with the movies that came before it.

      Read my original post again people; “I am extremely doubtful that this film will satisfactorily explain why Sabretooth has met Wolverine later in life and barely acknowledges him.”

      Since these 2 met in X-Men, it will take some pretty good storytelling for that to make logical sense. All within 90 minutes. With about 20 other characters to introduce and tell a story with.

      The impression I get is that this film will not be interested in explaining why they no longer recognize each other in X1.

      And Rodney, again you’ve missed the point entirely by turning this into an issue of “hair color” now. No, I’m saying that EVERYTHING about this version of Sabertooth is completely different. If the only difference you can spot is hair color, then it’s no wonder you can’t understand what I’m saying.

      I’m doubtful that this film will explain his changes, Wolverine’s origin, his entire back story, introduce this “special team”, introduce young Cyclops, and all the other characters like Deadpool, Gambit, Blob etc… all in 90 minutes, to the same level of quality as the first 2 X-Men movies.

      As I keep saying, I could be wrong, this is merely the opinion I have formed based on the trailers and what we have seen of the film so far. I don’t see why everyone else is being so adamant that these will be explained in the film; you don’t know for sure either.

      I’m hoping for a film that can fit in well with the previous 3 X-Men films. From what I gather, you would all be content if each film had characters acting nothing like the previous films, looking nothing like they have before, and completely forgetting details previously explained. Glad you’re fans of such quality film making.

    18. Shane, you are overreacting and ironically lashing out at my response to your own words. I get that you think the films are inconsistent. I have addressed all the issues you have brought up to support your assumption that they would be.

      You brought up his appearance and behaviour. I expressed possible reasons for it and plausible explanations they could easily turn to.

      We “people” don’t need to reread your original post. We are responding to your posts. Ones where you brought up issues that people are satisfactorily bringing up resolutions.

      You are concerned about Sabertooth’s familiarity with Wolverine and why he didnt respond “satisfactorily” for you. Maybe they don’t want to have everyone know about their past. Maybe they dont know. Wolverine recognized a familiar scent, and in battle Sabretooth felt some sort of personal connection in taking his dog tags. This isn’t enough for you because they didnt have coffee and reminisce about old times or offer cheesey dialogue to announce their connection.

      You obsess over how many characters are in the movie, which is just an assumption. We know some characters will be in the movie, but in the past there have been over 20 mutants named or present in all the films. Why would this be any different?

      You get “an impression” which is just validating everything everyone else is saying. You assume it wont spell it all out for you well enough. And you don’t know that. Even when the examples given give “an impression” that they DO acknowledge a connection.

      Amazing that your impression is enough to condemn the franchise but the impression given was not sufficient to save it.

      You blatantly accuse me of making this about hair colour and telling people to read your comment when you clearly didn’t read mine. I already stated that his appearance AND his animal like but simple demeanor were different but could possibly be explained. But before they have the chance you assume they wont.

      The first two X-men films introduced you to a whole school full of “special youngsters” a brotherhood of mutants, a past for a number of the core characters AND still manage to have a story on top of it all.

      You like to offer a “I could be wrong” while so vehemently defending your assumptions as misunderstood by everyone who responds to them.

      I have faith that in considering a prequel film they would make efforts to make it fit with any existing chapter in the series. These people are not the idiots.

      Finally you make the empty assumption that we are “fans of such quality film making” while you are simply a fan of pessimism.

      People here have offered up suggestions that contradict your pessimism, but you counter it with “YOU JUST DONT GET IT”

    19. “….but in the past there have been over 20 mutants named or present in all the films. Why would this be any different?”

      wow rodney lol i was one of those who complained and said this film had too many characters, lol i didnt see it that way, i have higher expectations for this film now, thanks for pointing that out.

      ps: that was not a smartass remark.

    20. Look Rodney, I simply gave my thoughts on what this film may be like based upon the information I have available about it, based on the trailers.

      And you made the snide remark that I don’t seem to know the source material. Then you made incorrect assumptions about me obsessing over minor details, and wanting to see this movie be exactly like the comics, or having a problem with a new actor playing a part, or over the color of a characters hair.

      And since you started commenting on what I have said, you have got it wrong every single time. You seem to have made it a goal to score points over me somehow by belittling my opinion, trying to prove I don’t know what I am talking about, as if I’m saying something that I am not.

      I never claimed to know how this movie will tell the story, merely gave my thoughts as to my optimism about the film at this point in time. It would be no different than if I said I was looking forward to the film, since really nobody knows if it’s going to be good or bad right now, we can only speculate. For me, it’s looking like this may not live up to what has previously been a very good franchise.

      The reason for that, is that I THINK this franchise is now trying to straddle a thin line between it’s own cannon, and telling stories that necessitate things that come from comic book cannon. The effect now, is that this franchise is running the risk of having more and more inconsistencies within it’s own cannon. I gave examples of 2 things previously established in the movies, which I think may turn out to be retconned, for sake of telling a story based upon comic cannon as opposed to sticking with movie cannon. But you’re claiming that since there are ways it could be explained logically, that the film will definately explain them that way. You don’t know that, so trying to argue over how the film may or may not present them at this stage is pointless.

      You’re optimistic; I’m not as confident, based only upon the impression both of us gets from the trailers.

      You’re acting like I’m making definitive statements and condemning the movie based on assumptions. I’m not. I’m just saying that the trailers give me a certain impression, and have stated several times now that I’m well aware I could be wrong in that assumption.

      The examples given (Wolverine apparently recognizing Creed’s scent etc) for me personally, do not constitute a suitable acknowledgment of how much of a history this film now shows them to have. Logan’s memory was apparently wiped when the Adamantium was put into his body. Yet the trailer shows him fighting Sabertooth after he has his metal claws. So while they could explain it all with memory loss, it means he will have to lose his memory twice. So based on the previous films, and what I have seen of the trailers, it looks like this inconsistency will be an issue. Until I see how it all plays out in this film, that’s just speculation on my part. And I do hope I am wrong.

      Based on what the trailers have shown me, I am not getting as excited about the film as I would like. Is that to say I won’t like the film? No, because it might answer all the things I want it to, and it may be great. But since you posted the trailer here, and not the entire film, all I can comment upon is what impression the trailer gives me.

      The trailer for Watchmen made me extremely excited for the film, as I felt it showed a movie I would be really pleased with. That didn’t guarantee that the film was going to be great, but I went in much more optimistic about it. This trailer leaves me feeling the film may not meet my previous expectations for it.

      What I’m not trying to argue here is that the movie should be exactly like the comic. It shouldn’t. I’m not saying the can’t get different actors to play a part. I’m not saying they can’t explain these things in a logical way, IF they try.

  13. This trailer has definitely up-ed my excitement level a notch. Seeing how they integrate a young Cyclops into the fold and having it jive with the first X-men movie will be interesting. The effects also look pretty damn good, especially with Gambit. Deadpool though looks kinda funky. He kinda looks like one of the Reapers from Blade 2. Not exactly the way I would of gone but I’ll reserve judgement until we get an extended view of some action with him in it.
