THE WOLVERINE has found its Silver Samurai! Variety reports that Will Yun Lee (upcoming “Total Recall,” “Elektra”) has been cast as the villainous Kenuichi Harada in James Mangold’s film, which stars “X-Men” vet Hugh Jackman and recently announced actors Hiroyuki Sanada (Shingen Yashida), Hal Yamanouchi (Yashida), Tao Okamoto (Mariko Yashida), Rila Fukushima (Yukio) and Brian Tee (Minister of Justice, Norubo Mori).
In the comics, Harada is the illegitimate son of Shingen Yashida. He is a Japanese mutant with the power to charge almost anything, most notably his katana, with mutant energy which enables it to slice through any known substance excluding adamantium. He also sports a suit based on traditional samurai armor, made of a silver metal, hence his name.

Will Yun Lee is indeed good with on-screen martial arts fights. Should be good.
Not being offensvie, but I would’ve preffered the Samurai to be the first guy in the post before this…He looks more the role than this guy….
If you don’t know whom I am talking about: Hiroyuki Sanada
That guy
He is Kirigi of Elektra… But then he died.. so, Welcome to X-men family.. He is a perfect actor for Silver Samurai..
Finally.. we are on track. Great choices so far, though I would habe prefered Ken Watanabe as the Silver Samurai.
I just hope they do not fear an “R” rating and that they will make this one really, really dark!
So, no Lady Deathstrike. SAD. Also i agree with u xavierstorma and R rated film and really dark but not too much.
I’m Still hoping that Lady Deathsrike will have a cameo appearance or part of the team.
lady deathstrike she was on striker williams the scientific soldier the one who drounded in the alholaig so as lady deathstrike she has not longer in the movie of wolverine 2 coz she is killed by the metal aromantiuum in x-men 2 even they could make an a exception with this chineese girl they don,t alowed her i don’t know why sorry
