X-Men Origins: Wolverine

This Wolverine prequel explores Logan’s relationship with Victor Creed and the Weapon X program. Hugh Jackman returns in a film that moves the focus away from the school ensemble and toward the experiences that shaped the character.

The attraction is a closer look at the contrast between Logan’s desire to step away from violence and the forces drawing him back. Watch how the film builds its central rivalry over time rather than treating it as one isolated encounter.
