The new TV Spot for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is online.
I like how this clip shows where this movie fits. It will be telling an origin story, but also just an early story of Wolverine with flashbacks to his youth.
Comic book geeks will notice the subtle message when Creed is looking down on a very young “James” Logan and says “He wasn’t your father…son”. In the comic books there was a story arc where Sabertooth was messing with Logan’s head and managed to convince him it was entirely possible that he was Wolverine’s father. Later, its revealed that Sabertooth and Mystique were Nightcrawler’s parents, though that also didn’t translate to the movies.
And we get confirmation that the claws were not an add on during the adamantium stage. Seeing the bone claws gave me a little geekgasm.
Also, we have a short clip to advertise some Online promo spots that remind us that Cyclops will be making an appearance in Wolverine as well (played by newcomer Tim Pocock). I would imagine the two don’t actually meet in the film since it would make their first introduction in the mansion a little odd. Cyclops may have known about Logan previous to saving him in the beginning of the first X-Men, but Logan is blissfully unaware of Cyclops.
What do you think?
