Wolverine Endings After the Credits


According to USA Today, "Director Gavin Hood says the theatrical version of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' due out Friday, features two different 'Easter egg' endings. The short bits of footage play after the credits and reveal important information about key characters. Hood says the two endings play on separate prints, so different theaters may show different footage."

According to my updated post from earlier about the multiple endings I only found out about two of them. Since there are only two then I know what they are about.

One shows more of Deadpool and can lead to the Deadpool spin-off while the other shows Wolverine in Japan.

Hugh Jackman said he is already in talks with screenwriters about making a "Wolverine" sequel and having it tell the Japan storyline from the comics.

"I won’t lie to you, I have been talking to writers,” Jackman told MTV News. “I’m a big fan of the Japanese saga in the comic book.”

“However, it was also another one of my goals that you could see the end of this movie parlaying straight into ['X-Men'], finding that guy in the bar, fighting, drinking, with not much recollection of what’s going on,” added Jackman. “I thought that was important. However, we’ll find out beginning of May if there’s still an audience for it, if people still like the character. There’s no point in telling the story if no one wants to hear it.

“There are so many areas of that Japanese story,” Jackman explained. “I love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world — I can see it aesthetically, too — full of honor and tradition and customs and someone who’s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way. The idea of the samurai, too — and the tradition there. It’s really great. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai — not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first.

“There’s also a great, very intricate story there with Mariko,” hinted Jackman in reference to one of Wolverine’s lost loves. “And so many cool ways we could go.”

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
Anyone excited for "Wolverine" this weekend (unless you saw it somewhere else where it is already out like in the UK)?
