Wolverine Claws His Way Onto the Cover of 'Empire'

Of the magazine covers featuring
Hugh Jackman
that we could have shown you, be thankful we didn't go the whole Sexiest Man
of the Year Because His New Movie is Out This Week route. Instead, we've got
Jackman, in the wife beater and sideburns, sporting the adamantium claws for a
preview of
X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I take it you can read, so you don't need to be told that this is from Empire. The great British film magazine got to go on set, and they've provided some choice quotes to go along with the premiere of the cover, including this one from Jackman.
"There's a scene in the first X-Men movie where Wolverine's introduced in a bar, fighting in a cage, and you felt that he did this every night of his life. If this movie is successful, you should feel that this guy can walk straight off the end of this film and into that bar."Actually...um...yeah, that's exactly, exactly what I hope Wolverine accomplishes. There's an excellent goal, and one they can certainly reach.
The only knock I have on the Empire cover is that it looks more than vaguely like the one or two images we've already seen from the film. Time for a new photoshoot, please.
