The Wolverine is still months and months away from release, but we love that they have released the movie equivalent of a “save the date” invitation to a party, as well as a recorded live chat with star Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold. Check out this brilliant teaser poster:

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, THE WOLVERINE finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.

And here’s the recorded live chat, with all the latest info:
