It was thus narrowed down to single shots of the titular character. Among these, two stood out. “The bone-claw image [below, left] was a serious contender for a long time, because it indicated the early evolution of Wolverine,” the rep says. “Being a prequel, that made sense. But ultimately, the straight-on single [top] was chosen because it’s iconic of that character. Plus, print generally comes down to gut instinct, and that piercing stare was hard to beat.”
