The Wolverine Gets Another New Poster…With the Muramasa Blade?

Hugh Jackman takes his shirt off and takes center stage–again–in another new poster for James Mangold’s The Wolverine, just released through the film’s Facebook page.With Wolverine hanging onto what’s probably the Black Blade,which was forged by Muramasa using a piece of his own soul and granted a number of superhuman physical attributes to the one who wielded it. Muramasa, who has been stated as being quite mad, also poured his madness into the blade. After wielding the sword for a period of time, the wielder would slowly be overcome by the sword’s influence.Even if it isn’t the Muramasa Blade, remember this from the last time we asked why a dude with adamantium claws would need a sword: “The sword is a weapon of skill and honor, opposed to his claws which are of the animal berserker. The core of the Claremont/Miller miniseries, which this is supposedly based upon, was his struggle between his human and animal natures,” regular reader Jeremy Wiggins told us.
