He might be currently seen in cinemas doing singing and dancing and some sort of jazz hands malarkey [Editor's Note: We haven't seen Les Misérables, we don't know if there are jazz hands, but there's definitely singing in the trailer], but Golden Globe winner Hugh Jackman proves his vein-popping, macho credentials in the latest image released from The Wolverine.
*Sigh*... singing, dancing, acting... is there anything this guy can't do?
James Mangold's sequel will see the character "without a master, without a purpose. Kind of a soldier who is cut loose", according to the director.
"A lot of that story and a lot of beats from that saga are in there, and a lot of characters," he told Entertainment Weekly. "Without being religious about it, I think it's a very admiring adaptation."
Mangold went on to expand on Logan's (Hugh Jackman) arc in the film, which takes place after X-Men 3: The Last Stand, confirming that he spends much of the story isolated.
"I felt it was really important to find Logan at a moment where he was stripped clean of his duties to the X-Men, his other allegiances, and even stripped clean of his own sense of purpose.
"I was fascinated with the idea of portraying Logan as a ronin - the definition of which is a samurai without a master, without a purpose. Kind of a soldier who is cut loose.
"War is over. What does he do? What does he face? What does he believe anymore? Who are his friends? What is his reason for being here anymore? I think those questions are especially interesting when you're dealing with a character who is essentially immortal."
The Wolverine will be released on July 25, 2013 in the UK, and July 26, 2013 in the US.
