The Wolverine: New Poster Features Silver Samurai

Of all of the many posters and promotional images for The Wolverine, the most visually striking has been the black and white image of Wolverine that aped the style of Japanese ink wash art.It’s been a while since that poster was released, but they’ve finally followed it up with a similar poster that features the Silver Samurai, one of the film’s villains.Since there’s at least one more major villain (The Viper) and possibly more, don’t be surprised if there are more of these to come, although the idea of pairing these two in a samurai standoff is also appealing so it’s possible this is it.Based loosely on the Chris Claremont/Frank Miller stories of the ’80s, The Wolverine sees Logan head to Japan and, among other things, apparently lose his healing factor, a plot point that’s being used in the comics this July. The Wolverine will be in theaters on July 26.
