After filming scenes involving a funeral yesterday at a Buddhist temple in Japan, The Wolverine production has now moved to the Fukuyama Station in Hiroshima. In photos via various onlookers, the star Hugh Jackman is seen once again sporting the funeral garb from yesterday. However, this time he's alongside model/actress Tao Okamoto, who's playing Silver Samura's half-sister, Mariko Yashida. While nothing too significant, check it out!










Based on the celebrated comic book arc, “The Wolverine” finds Logan (Hugh Jackman), the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed. Also starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee, Brian Tee and Svetlana Khodchenkova, James Mangold directs a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback. And “The Wolverine” is scheduled for release on July 26, 2013.

I'm liking the new look/haircut etc

Would be nice if a costume is introduced....Brown/Tan maybe? Even without the mask, it would look cool!

Before anyone says "It won't work on screen!" watch 'The Avengers' movie. LOUD and extreme costumes (Stars and Stripes), sometimes with slight alterations, work!

A short-haired giant WOLVERINE.....
Oh, yeah, this movie is accurate!

I don't care how you spin it
WOLVERINE is supposed to be 5'3",
SHORT AS SHORT CAN BE!

LOGAN'S called "THE RUNT", does 6'2"
JACKMAN look like a "RUNT" here???

FOX strikes again!

Things just get worse and worse.

WONDERFUL!!!

SANDERMAN@, JACKMAN even towers over the non-

What's interesting is I remember someone mentioning that they tried camera angles in X-Men to make Jackman look shorter. And he was on eye level with Janssen who is 5"11 so at least they tried.

I think by the second film they just said screw it.

This is what happens when you buy the hype.

Oh wait, that's the one playing Mariko. I cannot convey the sarcasm enough.

Meh. Until he starts to look like Wolverine these movies will continue to fail. That's all I've got.

@P862010

Unfortunately yes. And she doesn't look "nice" in that pic. That's a good Yukio.

This isn't
