The Wolverine Director Says No Trailer Until Early 2013

November 20, 2012

Last week, rumors began to swirl about what films we would see trailers for on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Many reported that we’d be seeing all new footage from Man of Steel and the trailer debut for The Wolverine, but the latter one has already been debunked.

The Wolverine director James Mangold took to twitter this morning to announce that no, there would not be a Wolverine trailer with The Hobbit.

Contrary to reports, there will be no trailer on THE HOBBIT for THE WOLVERINE. You will get a glimpse early 2013. I promise.

Perhaps in time for the biggest sporting event in the US every year on February 3? Or perhaps it will hit theaters with Fox’s A Good Day to Die Hard on February 14.

Coming to theaters on July 26, 2013, the action adventure stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.
