Multiple Endings for Wolverine?


First Showing went to a screening of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in LA where director Gavin Hood came out and explained something about the ending of the movie.

"He spent most of the time thanking us for coming to this screening and seeing 'Wolverine' the way it should be seen, in theaters, and talked about how many difference there were between the final cut and the early leaked version. He then mentioned that Marvel has a tradition of hiding easter eggs in their films, and it's no exception for 'Wolverine.' They've hidden multiple secret endings on different prints and theaters will be showing different versions.

Fox is a bit desperate to try and get people in theaters on May 1 for the opening and this definitely seems like a very unique decision to try and bring people in. While we've seen plenty of easter egg endings, like in 'Iron Man' last year, we haven't seen multiple endings like this in a long time. Hood didn't say how many different endings there would be. As for the other differences between the leaked version and the final cut, Hood explained that there were 400 unfinished visual effects shots and that there was no score, unfinished sound mixing, and unfinished coloring. However, he didn't mention anything about differences in footage."

Different endings depending on what theater you go to? So if I want to see all the endings I will have to find out which ending is at which theater and go to there?
Dang...that is a way to get more people to go to theaters.

I most likely will wait until the film is on DVD and watch them all there (unless they make different DVDs with different endings...which would suck). I don't have time or money to go about to different theaters to see the same movie with a different ending.

I will try to find out more news on this and see how many actual endings there are and how many theaters are doing this.

EDIT: Multiple endings have been confirmed to show after the credits for the film and there are two that I know of. One sets up for a possible "Deadpool" spin-off while another sets up for another "Wolverine" film taking place in Japan.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!

I wonder if there'd be a different ending between here and Milton...

There might, but like I said, I will try to look up how many endings there are and how many theaters will have different endings.
