Wolverine - the movie

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the upcoming film focusing on the Marvel Comics character Wolverine. It is currently due for release on May 1, 2009.

Hugh Jackman will reprise the role of Wolverine in what is billed as a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the Logan/Wolverine and his days with Team X.

The film is supposedly set before Wolverine had his skeleton bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium, and is said to also focus on his relationship with Victor Creed (aka. Sabretooth) and Wolverines involvement in the Weapon X program.

The Cast 

Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine: The mutant and future X-Man.
Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed / Sabretooth: Schreiber picks up the role played by Tyler Mane in the first X-Men film.
Danny Huston as William Stryker: Brian Cox, who played Stryker in X-Men 2 was reportedly keen to reprise his role, whilst Schreiber was originally reported to be in negotiations for the part, the role eventually went to Huston.
Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox: the role was originally offered to Michelle Monaghan, however she had turned it down due scheduling conflicts.
Daniel Henney as David North / Agent Zero: A member of the Weapon X program and an expert tracker with lethal marksman skills.
Will.i.am as John Wraith / Kestrel: A teleporting mutant who becomes a Weapon X test subject.
Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau / Gambit: A Cajun thief who has the ability to charge any object he touches with kinetic energy, forcing it to explode. Josh Holloway from Lost was rumored to have been linked to X-Men 3 in the role of Gambit, although the Gambit character was written out of the final script.
Dominic Monaghan as Barnell: Apparently the Barnell in the film is a lot different to the Barnell/Beak character that appears in the comics. This version of Barnell is said to have the ability to manipulate energy and electricity.
Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool: A wisecracking "Merc with a Mouth", most likely insane mercenary who also has the healing factor of Wolverine.
"Merc with a Mouth"
Kevin Durand as Frederick J. Dukes / The Blob: "An obese mutant with an indestructible layer of fat."

Rumored Plot 

If you don't want to know anything about the rumored plot for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie, then I suggest you skip this section.

Much of X-Men Origins: Wolverine is said to be set some 17 years prior to the first X-Men film. It is said to follow the transformation story of Logan into the Wolverine.

Photos that have emerged also point to numerous flash backs, that cover the early years of Logan, as well as the first time his mutant powers manifest. These screen shots (see below) look strikingly similar to some of the panels taken from the Wolverine Origins series.

The film is also rumored to include a closing battle between Wolverine and Weapon XI.
