X-Men Apocalypse - Wolverine costume?

[ADMIN]

Alleged Leaked Image Shows Reference To Classic Yellow And Masked Wolverine Suit!

The leaked Hugh Jackman Wolverine costume looks exactly like the one shown on a deleted scene of "The Wolverine" movie and it gives reference to the classic yellow and masked costume of Wolverine in the comics and the animated series of the 90's.

More of this rumor here.

I think that's just wishful thinking on the part of the writer. That picture is definitely from the deleted scene in The Wolverine. Frankly, for all the complaining the fanboys do on this issue, I don't think the X-Men movies would have ever been successful if that costume had been used. I believe the success of the movies is that they showed them primarily as real people, not cartoons.

I don't think it's been confirmed that Hugh will be in Apocalypse so guess we'll have to wait & see.

Hugh is not confirmed for a "villainous" Wolverine in the next saga, XMEN:Age of Apocalypse, but the speculations on the the movie have started, when Bryan Singer posted a teaser tweet re the first page of the script.

Excerpts:

While four horsemen can be glimpsed in the X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST stinger scene, this is our first true confirmation that the supervillain team will appear in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. It is unknown exactly who will comprise the team as it has shifted countless times over the years, but the Mutants representing Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War have included Archangel, Gambit, Wolverine, Psylocke, Sunfire, Caliban, Plague, and many others. I would think it would be interesting for this to be the way to pull Wolverine back into the mix and give Hugh Jackman the chance to play a more villainous role.

From another filmsite, BleedingCoolNews --

Two original glazed says they go with Wolverine. About time they flip the switch and give Hugh Jackman some villainous snarling to do, isn’t it? Commercially speaking, Fox’s bean counters would surely like that idea.

LOL - is Hugh Jackman a given, as far as Fox is concerned


Hugh's schedule is free ( nothing has been announced) after THE RIVER, which would him available for the filming of AGE OF APOCALYPSE ( due for release in May 2016). It is likely to be an ensemble film...and with the success of DAYS OF FUTURE PAST ( both on the critical and commercial fronts), Hugh will likely be persuaded to join the team again.

I did not realize that the APOCALYPSE saga spans so many stories and characters. I can't even imagine how these various tales can be made into one cohesive storyline.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Apocalypse

WEAPONS X is part of the storytelling. I do wonder if the appearance of Stryker (Mystique in disguise) as Logan was rescued from the Potomac at the end of DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is the hint that this storyline will become part of Apocalypse - maybe even a rebooting of ORIGINS itself??

LOL- I love how the comics messes with storylines and characters ( including their dying and their being born again in a different time alternative) - nothing is impossible. C'est vrai

Still no confirmation on the casting, especially on Hugh's participation --

but it seems Montreal is already going to gear up for pre-production towards the end of the year.

Mutants are on their way back to Montreal, meaning the amazingly beautiful Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and the whole X-crew will be strutting their stuff in the streets once more.

The star-studded news comes from JdeM, reporting that the next installment in the X-Men franchise (X-Men:Apocalypse) will begin shooting April 2015. Set construction at Montreal’s film studio Mel’s Cité du Cinema (same site they used last time) will start this December 2014.

So come next April, keep your eyes peeled for Wolverine sightings. If Mystique is more your jam, well good luck with that, ‘cuz that woman can be anyone. Sorry folks, couldn’t help but make some kinda nerdy joke, I’m all jazzed from the impending X-citement.

If Hugh becomes part of the new XMEN sequel, does this mean he won't have time for any other film project. THE RIVER winds up on January 25.
