The International trailer from yesterday was the best one so far IMO, really well paced.

Finally adverts for the film have hit UK television. On Channel 4 there was a trailer stating book now to see the Wolverine with footage. Was on twice in one ad break! So they are now pushing with the promotion now!

I almost feel like FOX has probably decided to place all their eggs in the DOFP basket with regards to the x-men, as that's likely where the franchise is really going to continue on.

As i doubt we'll be getting anymore wolverine solo films after this.

That is disgusting photoshop

That last trailer is great. I guess they fired the guy who made the 1st trailers.

I have a feeling Wolverine will be the most critically acclaimed among the other summer superhero movies. Iron Man 3 was fun and cool, but there's not too much heart and drama in it. MOS has the best action and most epic scale in all superhero movies, but the drama was too awkward and not enough charm and wit. I give both of those 8/10 after watching both twice. I hope the Wolverine gets a 9/10 from me even after multiple viewings.

I also saw a TV spot on ESPN last night.

Does anyone know if a trailer is attached to man of steel?

 

[marvelrobbins]

There seems to be more tieins than I remember for first Class.Althought not as many as trilogy+Origins.

As for other big films of summer Iron Man 3 has a 78 percent fresh at RT,which makes me a bit better,Star Trek with 87 fresh at RT,I think It's too high but again I am longtime Trek fan and when compared to classic Trek films It falls short,and Man of Steel at 59,which I find funny for personal reasons.The Wolverine has great chance to surprise
people.If the creative rebirth beguin for X-Men films continues with The Wolverine It could be surprise of the summer.

This wouldn't be first time An X-Men related film surprised people.

2000-Few people thought X_Men would make much presence
2003-Everyone was talking more on Maxtrix sequels and the Hulk than X2
2011-Noone was expecting much from first Class.It became best reviewed comic book
film of 2011

Does anyone know if a trailer is attached to man of steel?

I saw Man of Steel here in Chicago and they did not show The Wolverine trailer. They only showed Elysium, Riddick, Pacific Rim, World War Z, Gravity, Turbo, and a few others. Nothing from Marvel though.

 

[danoyse]

I'm at my theater in NJ to see This Is The End (have to wait until tomorrow to see Man of Steel ), and they now have a billboard-sized Wolverine poster at the front of the building, as well as a lenticular-type poster inside that I hadn't seen before.

I took pictures, I'll post when I get home. The Red Robin in the mall also had a banner of that Bezerker Burger, and the movie store had an endcap of summer-movie related DVDs on sale, which included the X-Men movies under a mini-poster for The Wolverine.

Here they are:

Did anyone else notice Christopher McQuarrie is no longer credited as a writer.

 

[psylockolussus]

Wow thats a new one!

And the Berserker burger looks delicious!

And BTW, I finally saw the Wolverine trailer (the 1st international trailer) when I watched Man of Steel. I heard some responses which was cool.
