The Wolverine: 5 Things We Learned From Awesome New Trailer

2. Silver Samurai Is Totally Badass

The Wolverine Sure to warm the cockles of many Marvel fans, the appearance of Silver Samurai is likely to make for an awesome set-piece in The Wolverine, as the two engage in an epic sword-fight of some kind. Silver Samurai is a mutant named Kenuichio Harada, and the illegitimate son of Yashida. The great twist with Silver Samurai is that though he is immensely powerful and can cut through almost any known substance, the only one he cannot is adamantium, the esoteric metal that covers Logan's whole skeleton. This is one thing Mangold and co. are really going to want to get right, but so far, so good; as long as this action scene is brutal and long, it should do justice to a vital aspect of Logan's trip to Japan.
