The last few days has seen the promotional material heat up for X-MEN spin-off sequel THE WOLVERINE. We’ve had fascinating featurettes as well as an action-packed first clip, while only a few hours ago we debuted a sharp second. Now, we have another new featurette from the blockbusting comic-book adventure directed by Oscar-winner James Mangold. This one introduces us to the mysterious character of Harada (played by Will Yun Lee), who will be later transformed into the towering sword-swinging villain, The Silver Samurai.
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 is unleashed on the 26th July and sees superstar Hugh Jackman reprise his role of raging mutant antihero, Logan. Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee co-star.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.

You didn’t debut any clips, you just posted them after they’d debuted elsewhere
