“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie
October 20, 2007
Marvel announced the title and release date of their upcoming X-Men movie trilogy spin-off. The official title will be X-Men Origins: Wolverine and will be released on May 1, 2009.
I like how they are including “X-Men” in the title. This helps to link it to the other three movies and in turn will hopefully gain it more recognition and success. It also sets up the proposed Magneto movie to have a similar title like “X-Men Origins: Magneto”. I’d love a whole series of these single character focused X-Men movies, the possibilities are extensive: Professor Xavier, Emma Frost, Beast, maybe even Gambit? The May release is also significant as this solidifies May as Marvel’s movie month, I could get used to that.
Of course Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine. According to Marvel.com, there is also the possibility of “a young William Stryker, Sabretooth, Weapon X and a bevy of other mutants—both returning and new characters.”

Got something to say?
I would LOVE to see a version of Omega Red. I would also like to see Maverick. He was Marvel’s version of Boba Fett. Rarely see him, but ultra-cool.
Dude you have a serious problem if you would love to see an Omega Red: Origin’s. He was a horrible character/villain. Stupid tenticals, deadly smell, LOL. What an obvious Cold War’esk counterpart character. Think they might have to write a comic about his past first. Let alone would marvel ever get around to him. That aside the Wolverine Origin Movie is going to be GREAT! I hope the stick to the comic book story line. I can’t wait to see who plays Rose and Smitty. I think Sam Elliott would make a great Smitty. 2009 can’t some fast enough!
Try to stay on topic next time Jud :)
