Now that's more like it. The other day a few photos of Hugh Jackman appeared online, and they were touted (by us and many other) as the first official photos of Hugh Jackman back in the Wolverine get-up. Well, USA Today has snagged the first official official look at the new film, and now that's the Wolverine we've all come to love, adore ... and not ask to scratch our backs. Hell yeah -- he's angry, he doesn't know what the f*ck is up with his body and he's ready to claw his way to the truth.

On the character, Jackman said, "I think one of the reasons the X-Men took off is that it connected in a way nobody saw," Jackman says. "They're mutants with powers. But they're also outcasts for being, and everyone connects with that on some level. And who wouldn't want the power to get back at the people who ostracized you?" Then there's this bit of juicy info: "Wolverine's nemesis Sabretooth "is going to play a big part in it. And there will be a good bit of cameos" of new and familiar mutants. But you can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film." Sweeet! And the cameos will be? What do you think? X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits theaters on May 1, 2009.
