If you needed a bit of convincing that Fox really was looking to take next year's The Wolverine off into a separate direction to the melancholy X-Men Origins: Wolverine, then take a look at this first teaser poster for the film. You think all concerned are trying to make a statement here?
Of course, our trailer senses tend to twitch when we get a teaser poster for a big film. Thus, we wonder if the first teaser trailer for The Wolverine is that far away. For now, though, here's a poster that at least is trying to do something a little different, and a lot more stylish.
The Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman and directed by James Mangold, arrives in cinemas next summer. It's also been confirmed that the film is being released in 3D, the first X-Men film to get such a release.
