Oh Hai Viper from The Wolverine Movie
 |
Here’s the first, non-official, behind-the-scenes shot of Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper in The Wolverine. Supposedly. I mean, that’s definitely Khodchenkova, and she’s definitely on the Wolverine set, and she’s definitely playing Viper, it’s just… Viper has green hair, and in this pic Khodchenkova clearly doesn’t. It’s Viper’s most defining physical characteristic (and she doesn’t have many). I’m not bitching because i this isn’t comics-accurate or anything, I’m just saying that without the green hair we have no real proof that it’s actually the character. It’s kind of like, oh, I don’t know, portraying Deadpool as a shirtless dude with no mouth. And we all remember how well that worked out. (Via Spinoff)
