UPDATE!

The new trailer for the eagerly awaited Wolverine:X-Men Origins movie has just been released so this page is now kinda superfluous, but because I'm such a nice guy here is a direct link for you to download the trailer in Quicktime 720 pixel format. It's also interesting to note the differences between the new trailer and the one released for comic-con.

For my part I think the trailer is kinda cool and shows great promise for the movie itself. I just hope that Marvel will use the support characters (like Deadpool, Emma Frost etc) to their full potential, and not treat them with the contempt they showed toward Venom in Spider-Man 3.

Here is the leaked trailer of X-Men Origins: Wolverine from Comic-Con with Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine, from the upcoming Marvel movie. It's hot from the Con so the quality is not fantastic, and I have no idea how long I can show it for as other posts have already been shut down, but enjoy it whilst it's here! I would guess that we will get to see the Official trailer around December time.

This looks like it's gonna be such a cool movie. Gambit, Deadpool, The Blob and others all feature in there so have fun spotting them.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Here is a full description, just in case:

The footage begins with Jackman's Logan and Liev Schreiber's Victor Creed (aka Sabertooth) huddled in a prison cell in army fatigues (Creed's fingernails are noticeably claw-like). Danny Huston's William Stryker stands before them.
Stryker: "You were sentenced to death for decapitating a senior officer. Your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at 10:00 hours. How did that go?"
Cut to the two tied to stakes and a squad of soldiers opening fire.
Cut back to the cell.
Logan: "It tickled."
Logan and Creed are seen escaping, followed by a shot of Logan silhouetted by a huge explosion as he walks towards the camera.
Stryker: "My name is Major William Stryker. Tired of denying your true nature?"
Creed: "What do you care?"
Stryker: "Oh I care. I care because I know how valuable you are. I'm putting together a special team. With special privileges. So tell me, how would you like to really serve your country?"

As this is said a variety of images flash across the screen, including Logan with bone claws, an acrobatic Taylor Kitsch as Gambit with his staff glowing at both ends, Silverfox, The Blob and a very brief shot of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool - although he looked more like a normal Ryan Reynolds in a red t-shirt than the masked/scarred Deadpool of the comics.

Cut to: Images of the adamantium injection tank from X2.
Creed: "We didn't sign up for this."
Creed: "Who do you think you are?"
Creed: "This is what we do."
Stryker: "Become the animal."
Stryker: "Embrace the other side."

Cut to: a series of images of Logan undergoing the Weapon X experimentation, being submerged in the tank and having adamantium bonded to his skeleton. We see an x-ray image of the metal going into his skull. His claws pop out - now metal-coated - and he springs from the tank in a classic Weapon X look with the adamantium injection spikes still protruding from his body. He attacks everyone around him.

Unidentified Voice: "We're making him indestructible."
Cut to: Logan as a boy, bone claws extended.
From there the action heats up with Wolverine clashing several times with Sabertooth in some impressive action sequences (Creed flies through the air, claws first, in one). There are also more images of The Blob and Gambit. Logan in a jeep, which explodes, flinging him into the air where he latches onto the front of a helicopter with his claws.

Cut to: a close up of Logan facing off against Sabertooth
Logan: "I'm gonna cut your god damn head off. See if that works"
He pops his claws.

Leading up to the events of "X-Men", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.
