The Wolverine Trailer Analysis


"When the infamous Wolverine is found by a Japanese woman brandishing a sword, he ends up following her on a journey that frees him for the curse of his immortatlity."

The narrative of the trailer shows us the general storyline of the film, with Logan being found by Yukio and sent to a man he saved from a nuclear blast several years ago. He offers Logan a solution to his immortality, that will finally let him die and be with his deceased lover, Jean Grey, also known as the phoenix. The rest of the trailer follows Logan on his journey, showing him fighting assasins and nijas, and eventually the Marvel Comics villain named Silver Samurai.

One of the unique selling point of the film is that the main star, Hugh Jackman, has gained more of a high profile since the last Wolverine film. Having bagged himself an Oscar, this means that people will be intrigued to see how he goes from playing Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, to an indestructible mutant with metal claws. Another unique selling point is that it is centred around Wolverine, a high profile character from Marvel Comics. It also feautres a cameo from Famke Janssen, the actress who played Jean Grey, a character who was killed in another film of the franchise, X-Men: The Last Stand.
