Premiering theatrically December 12 before showings of The Day the Earth Stood Still, the official trailer for the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine has hit the Web, and is available in high-definition exclusively on MySpace.
Taking place several years prior to Bryan Singer’s original X-Men (2000), Wolverine—helmed by Academy Award-winning director Gavin Hood—delves into the volatile past of the titular clawed Canuck (Hugh Jackman), and features fan-favorite characters such as the Blob (Kevin Durand), Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Gambit (Taylor Kitsch) to name a few. The film pits Logan against longtime rival Sabretooth, played by Liev Schreiber who, judging by the trailer, looks to match Jackman’s ferocity with a healthy dose of animalistic menace.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine slashes its way into theaters on May 1st, 2009.
