There have been a lot of fake posters and movie images going around lately, so I have no idea if this teaser poster for “Wolverine” (thumbnail to your left, bigger version below) is real or not, but a reader recently sent it in and it sure looks nice either way. Plus, it has a website URL that leads to the Fox website, if that means anything.

The mutant known as Wolverine breaks off into his off spin-off film from the successful X-MEN! franchise. Hugh Jackman (X1, X2, Van Helsing) returns as Logan/ Wolverine-A mutant with regenerative powers, three claws on each hand and a skeleton all laced with the rare metal known as adamantium. Logan struggles to find the secrets to his past. After learning little information through the help of Charles Xavier (X2’s Patrick Stewart), Logan takes his search even further by learning the full truth of his origin, while also heading in a bold, new direction.

Get an up close look at the claws May 1, 2009.

Update

Gah, I knew it. SuperheroHype confirms that the poster is a fake, made by one of their forum members. Curse this interwebness.
