Hugh Jackman Glowers On The Beach In New ‘The Wolverine’ Set Photo
Like many of us, directorJames Mangoldhas a habit of tweeting and Instagramming throughout his day. But where our pages might consist of cat photos and foodie shots (or, okay,mypage), Mangold’s is a little more exciting as he gets to show us the making ofThe Wolverine. His latest photo from the set shows starHugh Jackmanchopping wood, or at least pretending to chop wood, on the film’s Japanese set. Check it out after the jump.

I don’t think this update offers much in the way of plot hints, unless that eight-inch caterpillar works its way into the story somehow. But it’s cool to get a peek behind the scenes, especially when said scene involves a gorgeous seaside view.
If the firstWolverinetrailer is debuting in front ofG.I. Joe: Retalitation, as widely believed, we still have some weeks to wait. In the meantime, though, Twitter is proving a great source forWolverineimages. Mangold’s shared his photos fromthe setandthe editing bay, and the official@WolverineMoviepage has uploaded quite a few stills. Flip through ourprevious coverageof the movie to check out some of the others.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
