Wolverine & The Mutant Bandwagon

This promotional pic for the upcoming X-Men Origins : Wolverine was sent to SuperheroHype by Hugh Jackman himself. The guy's awesome I tell ya'. He acts, he's hosting the Oscars this year, he's in all sorts of magazines, guys think he's badass, girls think he's uber-charming, and homos Google him at night when they're alone. And he still finds time to send the guys at SuperheroHype an E-Mail. Seriously, how cool is that?!

Anyway, everything in the promo pic looks awful except for Hugh Jackman who -once again-looks unkept, bulked-up, and perfect as the ferocious, feral slash-o-holic. For some reason everyone's looking at their shoes, or maybe they all winked at the same time. Ryan Reynolds looks like an emo-case and the rest just look, well, too lame to actually be in this movie. If there was a band called Wolverine & The Mutant Bandwagon, this would seriously be on the front cover!

On another note, I was browsing through the web for more on this movie and found myself this fan-made poster. It's fake and some guy had it made on Photoshop. So why's it here? Simply because if this poster was indeed official, I'd be more than psyched about this flick. Seriously. The color, the almost violent picture, the wolf's shadow and the way it forms a mask that pays homage to the masked Wolverine in the cartoons / comics. This is how a Wolverine movie should be hyped; not with some indy-band photoshoot. And the sheer rage on Wolvie's face is crazy; you can almost sense that he's gonna' sink those claws into someone's flesh and bones any second now! Yikes.

Wolverine is due on May 1, 2009.
