Hugh Jackman celebrates his Wolverine South Korean premiere
Hugh Jackman celebrated the South Korean premiere of his new film “The Wolverine” held at Coex on July 15, 2013 in Seoul, South Korea.
The 44-year-old Australian actor looked sharp in his slate blue suit, taking photos with adoring fans in the crowd and speaking animatedly on the stage to them.
Jackman is still sporting his whiskers, which undoubtedly suited his Wolverine role. His fantastic buff physique which he maintains for roles such as these are a great by-product too.
Though the New York Post reports that the Jackman’s nude romp at a Japanese hot springs while filming on location got locals upset. Can’t imagine why…
Directed by James Mangold, the intriguing1 storyline to “The Wolverine” goes along the lines of Jackman’s Wolverine character, “Logan” being summoned to Japan by an old acquaintance and becoming embroiled in a conflict that forces him to confront his own demons.
There Wolverine faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him changed forever. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, Wolverine confronts not only “lethal samurai steel” but also an inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than ever…
Starring opposite Hugh Jackman are Famke Janssen as “Jean Grey,” Will Yun Lee as “Silver Samurai Kenuichio Harada” and Svetlana Khodchenkova as “Viper.”
“The Wolverine” will be released for public viewing in South Korea on July 25 and in the United States on July 26.
