OMG OMG Wolvie is back! I hope they include Sabertooth in it again...

Wolverine's name is James Howlett. His memory recovered during the House of M incident. Mutants were wiped off the face of the planet by Magneto's daughter (and also hero Avenger) by wishing "Let there be no more mutants.

If they based Wolverine on Origins. We might be able to see key characters that made and trained the Wolverine we had today. People involved like .. Wolverine saving Erik Magnus (Magneto) when Magneto was a child. He served the war with Captain America. His Weapon X team were Maverick, Silver Fox, Creed and himself.

Maybe we might see him involved in the Canadian version of the X-Men, called Alpha Flight. If this did involve Weapon X, we would see him kill Lady Deathstrike's dad in this movie (Lady Deathstrike is the adamantium nailed cyborg non mutie lady in X-Men2).

Sabretooth and Wolverine's history doesnt started from Weapon X. It started when Wolverine and him were just kids. They grew up together .. from friends .. to foes.

Will they talk about Wolverine as a kid?

is the fictional dr. mahathir's gonna be in the story as said before too?

last time i read that in IMDB (before X3 started shooting), i had a big laugh. it was awesome.

well, the movie will not be based on marvel comics origin storyline. it would be a prequel to the first x-men movie that focus all on wolverine. mutant x program and his encounter with sabretooth. sabretooth and silverfox (logan's girlfriend) will be in the movie.

can't wait to see it cause i really love how hugh jackman plays wolverine!

man, i cant wait to see wolverine's hair on a kid's head..XD

LOLed!

I collect X-men and I don't really like wolverine...however Hugh Jackman changed it BIG TIME!...never thought I would like wolverine...

Anyone knows who might be in it?...will Lady Deathstrike be in it?I would love to see em fight again

I assume the picture of the girl in green is Silver Fox then??? Guess this story will be about his time in Canada and all that then?? Him in the tube in the lab and all.

I dont think that's Silver Fox, the size doesn't match
and does ur query mean that Silver Fox would be one of the characters in Wolvie Origins?
Bummer.

The supposed synopsis did mention about the Weapon X program so it should include Silver Fox.

y not cyclops...
my favourite comic hero

oooh
well i'm not really into wolverine's history..so i'm not really aware of Silver Fox..is Mariko gonna be in it?or silver samurai + viper?

oh yeah thanx for the info

I can't recall a Mariko. I know of Yuriko though. Silver Samurai?? Who knows. Did mention possible suprise from the Marvel universe. Captain America maybe??? Possibly even the Alpha Flight.

Found out that Avi Arad has confirmed an animated series called Wolverine and the X-Men as well. Pity they couldn't cast Cathal J. Dodd as Wolverine though. He has been doing Wolverine ever since the earlier animated series and also for all the games i.e. X-Men vs Street Fighter and the likes. Very suited to Wolverine.

Yeah! I heard bout the Cartoon, psylocke might be in it(but as a villain i heard)
If my mind serves me right Mariko was Wolvie's GF, which he nearly married(could be wrong bout the name though)..so she must be somewhat important for his history unless they wanted to change the plot

I read somewhere that Silverfox is played by someone... cant remember the name now... but they revealed the actress...

EDIT:

HER -------> Michelle Monaghan

and Sabretooth is him --------------> Liev Schreiber (NOT William Stryker as rumoured)

Added on January 23, 2008, 10:50 pmunfortunately, mariko would not be in the movie. as much as i hope she would be in...and the filming location does not include japan. so we can't see logan in samurai suit with mariko. i still hope that they can shoot a few scene in japan..
