While the claws may have already come out for Hugh Jackman's latest film, Australia, they have already come out for his next movie.


It's the release that puts Jackman back in his righful place as James Howlett aka Logan aka Wolverine ... aka Mutton Chops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The website movieweb.com has got its hand on a number of new shots from the picture. Check them out here



As the little-bit-iffy title suggests, this is the steel-framed superhero before the events of the original X-Men movie from 2000 when he is first introduced to Professor Xavier (played then by Patrick Stewart) and his crew.

The new film, which will be out next May, will see how Wolverine is 'made', presumably before and after he grows the massive sideburns.

The film will also star the new Tom Cruise, Liev Schrieber, who will be as hairy as Hugh playing the arch enemy Victor Creed as Sabretooth, as well as Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, Danny Huston as William Stryker, Kevin Durand as The Blob and Taylor Kitsch as Gambit.
