New THE WOLVERINE Pics: Logan, Viper & Mariko

Three new pics from The Wolverine have arrived, just in time to remind you that James Mangold‘s upcoming movie arrives in theaters next month. As you’re about to see, we have a much better look at Svetlana Khodchenkova‘s lady – Viper (she’s kind of snakelike, remember?) and Tao Okamoto‘s character Mariko Yashida. They both look pretty cool, check them out & let us know what you think!

As you already know, Mangold’s epic action-adventure opens on July 26th, 2013, and stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Rila Fukushima and Brian Tee.

The movie takes the most iconic character of the X-Men universe to modern day Japan where he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed.

In other words – Logan will this time confront not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality.

As usual – click on all these images to enlarge, and in case you’ve missed our previous reports, make sure you check out the latest trailer, another great Japanese trailer, more images and character posters for the movie.
