First official image of Hugh Jackman as "Wolverine"!

Fox has released the first official image of Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine, the official sequel of the famous spin-character from the X-Men film series.

This sequel will focus on the relationship between Wolverine and Mariko, the daughter of a Japanese organized crime boss. The film, which also will include Will Yun Lee, Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee, will be released in theaters in Summer 2013. 

James Mangold will be directing and the whole film will have an Asian feel, perhaps like the martial arts movie – “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. 

Check out the pic below and let us know if this sequel is one you’re excited for in 2013…
