'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' TV Spot #3
Filed under: 20th Century Fox, Newsstand, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and Clips
Well, so much for the three minute narrative! The third and final television spot doesn't pick up where #2 left off. This one's more of a montage where we get longer glimpses of other Team X members, notably Deadpool. (He gets a line! Neat.) There's one mutant you see a shocking lot of in this, though ... and his name is Cyclops. What rumors implied was a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo from the X-Man is suggested here to be something much more plot worthy, and your guess is as good as mine as to how he figures into any Wolverine origin story.
I do like all the shots of Wolverine looking bewildered by his admantium claws, though. (Oh, that macho man -- he doesn't even wince when they're new.) That shot of him looking in his bathroom mirror is kind of interesting. I complained in the Geek Beat about spoilers, but perhaps I was hasty, as I don't see how this Wolverine is going to end up poor, cage fighting and missing his memories. Surprises still await, I guess.
Check out Wolverine television spot #1, and television spot #2 to make your final judgment on whether or not you'll be seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine in theaters on May 1.

yeah i don't like how they supposedly finished off the narrative of the 3 spots with a montage of what was basically shown and told in the theatrical trailer.
i guess that's good they left stuff out so there'd be surprises but doesn't leave out much hope of an amazing story; just really cool badass action scenes (except that helicopter scene). i love the character so much that there should be a really cool story and character stuff. i mean some of my favorite wolverine stories have no action whatsoever so...oh well. at least they have the revenge stuff down pat as well as victor. and damn all the mutants. gonna be like x3.
to end on a funny note: was anyone amazed at how wonderfully voluminous and flowing wolverine's hair is in the second (civil war shot) and third tv spots?

How much is this supposed to tie into the X-Men movies? It'll be kinda weird if Wolverine and Cyclops get to know each other in this movie, and then a few years later when Cyclops is an X-Man he doesn't say anything to Wolverine about it. Obviously this might be explained in the movie, but right now it seems a little weird. I guess thats the problem with doing origin stories after doing the later stories, but oh well.
