Hugh Jack­man repris­es the role that made him a su­per­star – as the fierce fight­ing ma­chine who pos­sess­es amaz­ing heal­ing pow­ers, re­tractable claws and a pri­mal fury. Lead­ing up to the events of X-​MEN, X-​MEN ORI­GINS: WOLVER­INE tells the sto­ry of Wolver­ine’s epi­cal­ly vi­o­lent and ro­man­tic past, his com­plex re­la­tion­ship with Vic­tor Creed, and the omi­nous Weapon X pro­gram. Along the way, Wolver­ine en­coun­ters many mu­tants, both fa­mil­iar and new, in­clud­ing sur­prise ap­pear­ances by sev­er­al leg­ends of the X-​Men uni­verse whose ap­pear­ances in the film se­ries have long been an­tic­i­pat­ed.
