Romance in THE WOLVERINE

Yes, I’m eager to see Hugh Jackman fight, slice and dice ninjas and the Silver Samurai in The Wolverine. I’m also intrigued by how Logan’s greatest romance will play on the big screen. Mariko Yashida became Logan’s great love in the pages of The Wolverine limited series, X-Men and Wolverine solo comic books. Director James Mangold shared how he planned to capture that romance on screen and convince movie fans this woman is the love of his life.

“Well, one of Continue reading Romance in THE WOLVERINE

And this was just the prelude!?!

Marvel has been teasing The Hellfire Saga coming in June. This week Jason Aaron set the stage for a battle royale between the Jean Grey School and the Hellfire Academy in an action and surprise packed Wolverine and the X-Men #30.

I LOVED Broo from his first appearance in this series. The mutant alien had control over his sadistic urges and was a brilliant, eloquent nerd. I felt sick when he was shot point blank and turned into a feral savage like his alien brethren. (Do Brood even have a concept of family?)

The newly mutated Beast turns to a new foe (imagine Dr. Hannibal Continue reading X-MEN Under Attack!

“You know, obviously we have people from—one of the great things about this movie is that a lot of people from Marvel are here and it seems a lot more inclusive than it has been in the past. I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but I think it’s fantastic,” Jackman tells Screen Rant, “I actually just asked the other day, I said, ‘I don’t know what the legal situation is, but why don’t these companies come together? Why isn’t it possible?’ Because personally, I would love to mix it up Continue reading Hugh Jackman Wants X-Men & Avengers Movie
