Hugh Jackman recently spoke to MTV (click link for video) about THE WOLVERINE characters and action scenes. He speaks in detail about Viper, Jean Grey, and the action-packed bullet train fight sequence.
On Viper
“Viper is a badass, for someone who plays Wolverine, who is pretty badass. … She’s not your girl next door. You’re going to end up kind of loving every minute she has on screen.”
On Jean Grey
“There’s no doubt that the most important relationship in his life is — we’ve seen through the movies — is his relationship with Jean Grey. Yes, we saw her die at the end of ‘X-Men: The Last Stand,’ but in this movie, she has a presence, which I think is vital to the movie, particularly for him confronting the most difficult thing within himself.”
On the Bullet Train Sequence
“It is insane. It was insane to shoot it. It was, again, one of those brilliant ideas. One of the most emblematic things about Japan is the bullet train. I can’t go on the bullet train without any incident. It was hairy, shooting that stuff. To re-create what that is like, the kind of winds at 300 miles per hour, let me just say, looking back at some of the footage, I thought, ‘It’s time for a facelift.’ ”
I think Hugh is dropping in hints that Jean is still alive and maybe coming back. This might be a hint of what will happen in X-Men; Days of Future Past. Heck even Byran Singer hinted that he would like Jean and Scott to return. If we deal with Time Travel, anything is likely.
There is no clear explanation if Jean Grey is alive in the film.. nor I don’t think he is referring a connection in XDOFP.. But I hope he does..
and for Viper.. YEAH! I want that sexy hot snake kick some ass like Mystique!
Wait, according to some girl on instagram…jean becomes te white Phoenix which leads to the opening of XMDOTFP
A white phoenix? does that mean she is alive in the film?
