The Wolverine Breaks Out the Bone Claws; Film Will Take Place after the X-Men Trilogy

A new image from The Wolverine has gone online, and it shows off Wolverine’s bone claws. For those unfamiliar with the character (or had the good sense to avoid X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Wolverine’s claws are part of his genetic mutation, but they’re made of bone. They were coated in indestructible adamantium (along with his entire skeleton) as part of the Weapon X program, which took place before he joined the X-Men. While The Wolverine will reportedly have nothing to do with the plot of Origins, it will still acknowledge the X-Men trilogy, and surprisingly, won’t be a prequel to them.
