Six fresh photos of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" have been put out by USA Today, sharing a close-up look at some of the new mutants to be seen in the movie. They are individual pictures of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth, Lynn Collins' Kyla Silver Fox, Taylor Kitsch's Gambit, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool and will.i.am's Kestrel.
In companion of the new images, brief description of each character, except for Wolverine, has been included. Detailing on each of the five mutant's powers from Silver Fox's ability to accelerate other mutants' healing to Kestrel's teleportation skills, USA Today also runs down on which character is friend or foe to the titular character as described by Jackman himself.
"They were close in the beginning, but they begin to drift apart," Jackman revealed about Wolverine's relationship with Sabretooth. "He's like the brother who shows up every birthday to kick your (butt) to remind you who is the boss." Meanwhile, of Kestrel, he said, "He is categorically a friend of Wolverine's. Part of that is because he gets to wear the coolest clothes." More on the characters' profile can be obtained at USA Today.
A prequel to the "X-Men" trilogy, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" chronicles the events leading to "X-Men". It follows the story of Wolverine and focuses on his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Directed by Gavin Hood, it will blast off in U.S. theaters on May 1.
