I think Clancy Brown should have been cast as Sabertooth IMO.

I've always known him as vtrez explained him. He had this natural healing, so was experimented on and given the adamantium structure and claws. I remember frames where his claws were ripping through his skin.

Wolverine #75, shortly after the adamantium is ripped out. He goes back in the Danger room to prove that he's still got it, starts getting beat up, and then with some rage the claws shoot out as bone and he starts bleeding all over the place, and all the X-Men were shocked since they thought the claws were added.

I thought it was a pretty cool panel too. I'm not sure what was explained after, since I stopped reading comics shortly after. Maybe they explained it further. Although I have this comic too and thought the cover was pretty awesome after Cyber smashes his claws.

I always hated Kubert's shit...the black "eyes". I forget, was that Andy or Adam, one was good and one sucked. The sucky one did the Wolverine Origin books.

Give him scars on his face, but not completely covered.
Yes, because Fox is so concerned with keeping the X-Men authentic.

I keep coming back to the same thought : Hugh Jackman would have no career if Dougray Scott hadn't been called back to New South Wales for reshoots for MI 2. After suffering though a miserable season of Desperate Housewives with him, I can only say "Thank you John Woo! Your slavish devotion to slow motion action sequences saved X-men".

Here's a nice pic by Andy:

I'm also looking forward to Magneto.
I think it would be awesome if Wolvie liberated Mags' concentration camp, especially considering their later conflict...

I don't know...maybe a Cap cameo isn't impossible...A Vietnam movie would also be bitchin', 'cuz then you could incorporate the Punisher...Hearts of Darkness, peeps...

Ridley Scott may have more pull than whoever is directing this but its not that unlikely that Reynolds will be covered up the whole film (and disfigured when unmasked).

I thought he got his claws when they put the adamantium(or whatever) in him? (which would make him kinda boring before that imo) So what's the origin for those?

Perhaps I am mistaken (been a while since I've read Wolverine) but I think he has always had bone claws within the adamantium claws. Remember in the comics when Magneto ripped the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton and left him with bone claws?

Is that Ryan Reynolds with swords? I guess he isn't scarred then?

meh.

i'm just about tapped out when it comes to "James" and the multiple stupid origins that various "writers" have given him. even less then thrilled when the fangirls (or boys with high pitched voices) screeched at the sight of Gambit.
