Storyline:

Two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend upon. Basically, they’re fighters and killers, living from war to war throughout U.S. history. In modern times, U.S. Colonel Stryker recruits them and other mutants as commandos. Logan quits and becomes a logger, falling in love with a local teacher. When Logan refuses to rejoin Stryker’s crew, the Colonel sends the murderous Victor. Logan now wants revenge.

About Movie:

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics fictional character Wolverine. It is the fourth installment of the X-Men film series, the first installment of the Wolverine trilogy within the series, and a spin-off/prequel to X-Men (2000). The film was directed by Gavin Hood, written by David Benioff and Skip Woods, and produced by Hugh Jackman, who stars as the titular character, alongside Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, and Ryan Reynolds.

The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand, with Canada also serving as a location. Filming took place from January to May 2008. Production and post-production were troubled, with delays due to the weather and Jackman’s other commitments, an incomplete screenplay that was still being written in Los Angeles while principal photography rolled in Australia, conflicts arising between director Hood and Fox’s executives over the film’s direction, and an unfinished workprint being leaked on the internet a month before the film’s debut.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released on May 1, 2009, by 20th Century Fox. The film received generally negative reviews from critics for its screenplay, visual effects, pacing, and editing although Jackman’s performance received some praise. It opened at the top of the North American box office and grossed $179 million in the United States and Canada and $373.1 million worldwide.

Two subsequent films, The Wolverine and Logan, were released in 2013 and 2017, respectively. Reynolds would star as a new version of his Origins character, Wade Wilson, beginning with Deadpool (2016).
