First Glimpse at New WOLVERINE

And that first glimpse, courtesy of USA Today, looks exactly like the old Wolverine we've seen from the X-Men films. White tank-top? Check. Claws? Check. Angry expression? Check. While revealing the new promo pic for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the star Hugh Jackman also reinforces earlier reports that this origin tale will have plenty of other mutants within the next tale.

The film will trace Wolverine's past as he discovers the world of mutants and, ultimately, the ominous Weapon X program, which turns people into living weapons.

Jackman is tight-lipped on plot details, though he says the film will hardly be a one-mutant story.

Wolverine's nemesis Sabretooth "is going to play a big part in it. And there will be a good bit of cameos" of new and familiar mutants, he says. "But you can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film."

X-Men Origins: Wolverine will hit theaters May 1, 2009.
