Wolverine Premiere

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has premiered in Tempe, Arizona and man does that place love X-Men.

"I’ve played this character for about nine years; I love the character,” said Jackman, who arrived to the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” world premiere with great fanfare while riding a motorcycle into action, just like his claw-bearing mutant does in the flick. “[I] wanted to show the movie first to the most passionate X-Men and Wolverine fans, so we put a competition out online, and Tempe, Arizona, won. And I’ll tell you: These guys are passionate — they slept out two nights in a row [to get tickets]. Isn’t it the coolest thing?”

A nation-wide contest was done to compete for what city in America the film would premiere and Tempe, Arizona won. A marching band kicked off the confetti-heavy event, the jovial mayor handed Jackman a placard that gave him lifetime parking privileges anywhere in the city, and a gaggle of giggling high school cheerleaders swarmed Ryan Reynolds for a photo.

Check out the premiere and two exclusive clips below!


This is the way I know the Blob to look. This must take place some time after the beginning of the film where he us just muscular.


Actor Dominic Monaghan (Merry from "LOTR" and Charlie from "Lost") plays Chris Bradley, the electrical-powered mutant known as Bolt, in the "Wolverine" film. He wasn't in any of the trailers and none of his scenes were shown until finally now.

Though I do believe this is a spoiler because it basically shows that he won't be in anymore movies.


Hope you go out and enjoy "Wolverine" this weekend!
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
