In response to the recent news about X-Men Origins: Wolverine doing extensive reshoots, Hugh Jackman himself sent over a new cast photo from Wolverine to Ain't It Cool News. Seen below from left to right is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth, and Lynn Collins as Silver Fox. Still missing is Beak, Agent Zero, and The Blob, but it looks like this is the team being talked about in the trailer. In addition, Jackman says in an e-mail that the reshoots were always planned, even though I don't believe him. Check it out and click for full size.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is directed by South African filmmaker Gavin Hood, of the Oscar winner Tsotsi and Rendition previously. The script was written by veteran screenwriter David Benioff, of 25th Hour, Troy, and The Kite Runner previosuly. The character of Wolverine was first created by Len Wein and John Romita Sr. back in 1974. Fox will debut X-Men Origins: Wolverine in theaters on May 1st, 2009.

Eddy Fung

Sick Does anyone know if gambit will be a good guy or bad huy in the film?
jim

i like ryan reynolds but i hope his performance as deadpool is more serious and badass then the character he played in BladeTrinity in which he was kind of the goofball. im a little woried that his performance as deadpool will be the same as him in Blade.
Matt Suhu

lol...gambit doesn't look like a man at all.
chris

I trust Jackman. He' s proved he is a professional and really loves and respects Wolverine. This pic is trully badass. The film will be AWESOME!!!!!
chad

Anyone else pissed that Deadpool's skin isn't deformed like in the comic?
andrew

guys why should we have faith and trust in hugh jackman when he allowed wolverine to become cyclops/squad leader of the x-men? this movie continues to look too much like x-men 3 and is too focused on getting the right pose and fitting in as many mutants as possible. talk about lame!
andrew

i am of course referencing the shitty x-men 3 when logan became cyclops/squad leader.

Ryan Reynolds is great. Deadpool is great. Ryan Reynolds as deadpool does not look so great.

Deadpool was always a goofy oddball guy. I just don'e get why his face isn't all fucked up (from cancer) like in the comics... I mean that's why he went to weapon x in the first place, right?
Des

you DON'T believe him? Laura Donner announced the re-shoots back in OCTOBER, jesus, get your facts straight before posting something like this.
Dan W

I think ryan reynolds is great for deadpool. He has said that he is actually a fan of deadpool. And i guess we will have to wait for his own movie to see deadpool in his sweet mask and costume :/
Scott McHenry

Jackman is simply a BEAST! I really hope this is good.
KyB

"Hugh Jackman said the reshoots were always scheduled but I don't believe him" LMAO!

@18...Jackman isn't a beast he's a wolverine, Kelsey Grammer is a beast
eric

why is everyone besides hugh jackman is looking down its f'ing weird
http://www.comichacks.com Chris @ ComicHacks.com

Awesome pic. Forgot that Reynolds was actually in this film as Deadpool! Alex, I like you, man, but this: "Hugh Jackman said the reshoots were always scheduled but I don't believe him" Come on, man. That's just rude. You're better than that. Anyway, REALLY looking forward to the movie now.
Q

@9 Lol i thought it was a female too. i dont know but wolverine looks bad ass but for some reason when i look at everybody else i think "brokeback mountain"
J.White

**** Looks like 3 gay guys checking out Jackman and ignoring the gorgeous woman... Right?!?! ****
J.White

**** Or maybe Jackman didnt shower that day and smells awful in the open air tank-top. Hes doin the shoot and noone wants to be the one to say anything. Does look dirty. ****
Andreas

It's a pretty statuesque male cast they have there, only person below 6' 2" is Gambit, and I was suprised that Ryan was the shortest of the rest at 6' 2" when that's pretty tall in most books.
Vole

What a terrible photo. Most of them aren't looking at the camera, some have been caught with their eyes closed. Very amateurish.
L

Why am I seeing Deadpool's face? #8 Deadpool is a goofball. So if he's not playing that, he's not playing Deadpool right.
K

That's bad ass! I pray this turns out good.
nate

This could be pre-'hamburger' face Deadpool... Maybe they'll have his face get messed up in this movie, and yes #8 Deadpool is the goofiest badass ever. Reynolds is perfect for the roll.
Darunia

Holy crap, that really Is pretty damn badass. And Jackman really freaking brings Wolverine to "life" in that picture.
Darunia

#8 Dude, more serious? You want a serious Deadpool? Do you even know anything about the character? Deadpool is a 24/7 goofball.

#1 - hahaha perfect
Omega728

# 26 This picture was done in photoshop, you can clearly see that each character's pose was taken separately. Is it just me or does Wolverine's claws look really fake?
TigerClaw

One of the things about Deadpool is that hes the only character who breaks the 4th wall, Hopefully the movie version does the same.
trey

Man that poster looks ill...Hugh was born to be Wolverine
richard

@34 I dont know if you got this memo, but hugh jackman doesnt really have claws in real life... So they had to work with what he's got
fL

#8 Deadpool is a goofball. maybe one of his personalities is serious, but the other....what 3? are crazy and wack. good photo.
Jaf

They got the hair right
Bry from Chi

I like this photo. I'm going to check it out no matter what.
Fox Wins

The Scaring of Deadpool's face will happen digitally in the movie.
Mike J

Photo is ok, until you see Sabertooth's hand. Wow those claws look so fake!
Chris C.

#22: I dunno, I really am wondering if Alex is any better than that. He's just hating on Hugh Jackman here just to hate on FOX. I still think the movie looks great. I can't wait to check it out on opening day (preferably at midnight).
zubzwank

I think Hugh Jackman as Wolverine can carry a whole movie. I don't know about any of the other X-Men (Storm? Where have you been, Halle?).
arkhamite

what is this bullshit of sabretooth being just a dude with sideburns?
Omega728

#37 Wow, all this time I really thought that Hugh Jackman really did have claws, thanks for the wake up call...... All I'm saying is that they could've done a better job, at least make it look like it's actually coming out of his fists. Right now it just looks like someone did a really shitty cut and paste job.

Planned reshoots? Okay. I don't believe that for a second either Alex. But the trailer looked good and it does have a good cast so I remain hopeful.
Rudy

to #8 today is not your day how about a refresher? He is nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth" for a reason, Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black comedy, and satirical pop-culture references. Although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable, the cancer didn't do that to him but the Healing factor side effect did. So Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, couldn't ask for anybody else in my opinion. But one thing does puzzle me Deadpool was never part of the first weapon X program as Wolderine but of the second Weapon X program. oh Well that's hollywood. And a little refresher I know #37 and #46 were being sarcastic but for those who didn't know. Wolverine's mutation also consists of animal-like adaptations of his body, including pronounced canines and three retractable claws housed within each forearm. While originally depicted as bionic implants created by the Weapon X program, the claws are later revealed to be a natural part of his body. The claws are not made of keratin, as claws tend to be in the animal kingdom, but extremely dense bone, and can cut substances as durable as most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone. Wolverine's hands do not have openings for the claws to move through: they cut through his flesh every time he extrudes them. Painfull! and that was Marvel comics 101. Hope to see you again. And BTW the movie will do well I think.
insanartist

GAMBIT is a huge FAIL the rest of the cast should make the film ok......................
miracle disease

good pic but i must agree that wolverine's claws were kinda off... it floats above the picture because it's TOO WHITE & TWO DIMENSIONAL to match the intended pic effect, which is kinda dark... the claws looked like a piece of paper on top of the picture... sigh! can't wait for the movie though...

Cool pic.

Unless Deadpool is disfigured and driven nuts early on, they are really missing an oppurtunity with this character. My biggest fear is that they are hoping to have enough success to spinoff a Deadpool franchise, and in that case, will leave out all of the Deadpool story just making him a meaningless side character who says a smartass comment every so often. I really doubt we will see a mask since too many people will just see him as "Ninja Spiderman". Hell... I just don't see how they could even try to squeeze in something like where he got his name. Deadpool's role (after going batty) usually involves messing with other characters in other storylines and generally being maniac. The guy stole Agent X's pancreas, suckerpunched Shadowkat (just to piss off Wolverine), and when once actually assisting the Xmen insisted on wearing Jean Grey's classic uniform (keep in mind his entire body is horribly scarred and those outfits were skimpy). Even in his shared title with Cable, Deadpool's role in the plot was often just bizarre. I don't know how they are planning to fit him into the universe.
Silver

wtf are they looking at?
Susana

koopa

if the dude who plays gambit messes dis up imma be fuckin pissed
http://1stshowing.com The Spoiler

i have seen the rough cut of this film and its not bad at all. Could have used more displays of abilities from some of the mutants in the film. DeadPool is really funny in it. He will be in any spinoff unless they do a prequal to the wolverine movie. Basically he gets be-headed by Logan. The gambit fight scene is really short but worth the wait. Jackman has done bangup job as Logan in this film. The Gambit character plays the roll very smoothly not too shabby. Sabertooth is played very well in this variation. Emma Frosts scenes were sweet! I wish she had more that the few in the film. Cyclops as a teen was an interesting part in the film also. They show several mutants from adulthood down to early teens, which I really didnt reconize at all. As I said the version I watched was a rough cut un-edited not complete. so there will be some parts that I must see in the theater to get the full effect of this film. Enjoy....
sixsixsix

well i saw the movie and its not to bad but idk about them killing off most chars and how logan has his story line hmmm idk....
marie
