The Wolverine is beginning to look better and better. If you thought the initial trailer was incredibly promising, ​this second one will most probably blow you away.

Logan (Jackman) travels to Japan, where he encounters a mysterious figure from his past in a fight that has lasting consequences and pushes him to limits he never imagined.

“There are so many areas of that Japanese story, I love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world - I can see it aesthetically, too - full of honor and tradition and customs and someone who’s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way. The idea of the samurai, too - and the tradition there. It’s really great. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai - not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first,” says Jackman about his character.

The Wolverine hits theatres worldwide 26 July 2013.
