At this point, I’m still not to sure what to think of The Wolverine. On the one hand, Wolverine in Japan is a fantastic setup for a great action pic…but First Class aside, the X-Men franchise has been pretty terrible of late. I’m simply not sure I can trust the series anymore. That said, the more I see from The Wolverine, the more excited I get. The first image was great, the promotional poster was unique and now, the teaser poster is freaking awesome. Check it out below.

Here’s the poster, as promised. I don’t know why I need to point it out again since I ALREADY promised it the first time, but I just needed some words to put here in this area so the poster wouldn’t look odd with the ad all grinding up against it. So…there, that should be enough!

Uh..where was I again? Oh yeah, poster! Here ya go!

That’s…pretty awesome, no? I don’t know what it is about it, but there’s just a certain striking quality to this teaser poster that really makes it shine. Maybe its the black and whit remix of the classic Wolverine pose, or maybe its the relatively minimalistic approach to the design, but I really love this poster. I could easily see myself hanging it on my wall, which is honestly the highest achievement a movie poster can get.

But poster aside, I’m still unsure of director James Mangold has what it takes to make me love this franchise again. I guess we’ll find out when The Wolverine hits theaters July 26, 2013.
