Discussion: The Wolverine
Hugh Jackman owns the role, having played the Wolverine six times. His previous solo outing met with lackluster reviews. This time, the film adapts one of the most famous Logan story-arcs. Should we see it first-run or as a download– or just wait for X-Men: Days of Future Past?
