The Wolverine Already Looks Like a Superior Sequel
Thankfully, the effort they DIDN’T put into the latest poster clearly went into cutting the trailer.

Looks like they’re going with the most tried and true of superhero sequel formulas – the hero giving up his powers because they make him miserable, only to realize that he has a responsibility to take them back and be a bigger man. It’s worked at least twice, and this footage is already ten times better than anything in the last Wolverine movie.
Logan as a human atomic bomb shelter is pretty cool, but I do find it kind of hilarious that when he’s living “wild”, he grows long hair and a beard, and then his “Wolverine” hair and sideburns is somehow his cleaned-up look.
Anyway, see for yourself after the jump.
