First look: Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine

20th Century Fox has just revealed the first official image of Hugh Jackman in 'The Wolverine', a sequel to 2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'.

Claws out and muscles tensed, Logan looks ready for action as he strikes a pose in front of what looks like a temple.

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, 'The Wolverine' finds Logan in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.

'The Wolverine' is released in the UK on 26 July 2013.
