Directed by James Mangold, The Wolverine is the superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Wolverine and based on the 1982 limited series Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.

Luke and Nathan take a bullet train back to 2013 to discuss the sixth installment in the X-Men film series, the second installment in the trilogy of Wolverine films after X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), and the spin-off and sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).

Lured to a Japan he hasn't seen since World War II, century-old mutant Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in a shadowy realm of yakuza and samurai. Wolverine is pushed to his physical and emotional brink when he is forced to go on the run with a powerful industrialist's daughter (Tao Okamoto) and is confronted - for the first time - with the prospect of death.
