Ideas and Thoughts

Ok, ladies and gentlemen the first of the two scheduled X-Men Origins movies is here. Wolverine is the first of a series of three sequel movies to the X-MEN trilogy, that will be followed by Magneto and First Class. Although we have no information for the latter of the films, but we do know that it is already under development.

As far as I can understand the three new movies will work like the Star Wars trilogies, sequels but prequels. This method had become rather .. trendy. Solving questions from the initial scenario and expanding the universe. Well of course in the Marvel Multiverse this will not really do us any good, but still it’s seems that Wolverine is a cool movie to watch.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, due for release on May 1, 2009, is directed by Gavin Hood and again stars Jackman as Wolverine. It is a prequel focusing on the character and his time with Team X, before his skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand. David Benioff began writing the film in October 2004. The film also introduces Gambit (Taylor Kitsch) and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), for whom Fox is developing spin-offs.

So enjoy the trailer and do tell me your ideas on what you see.
