The Wolverine In Theaters July 26th, 2013
”Viper views Logan like a great hunter might view hunting a lion in his quarry. There’s kind of an admiration, a desire to destroy and a desire to consume and to have and to hold.”
How Yukio and Wolverine connect: “I would say they have a unique relationship. She’s lethal herself.”
The villain Viper: ”As her name would imply, she’s kind of snakelike. She likes to play with toxins. She’s immune to toxins. She’s kind of formidable.”
On why Wolverine is protecting Markio: ”At the time this movie opens, there’s a kind of gangland war going on between law enforcement and the Yakuza, and there’s been a lot of kidnappings and extortion. So she’s someone who’s under threat.”
This one comes from Hugh Jackman and he talks about one of the themes for THE WOLVERINE: ”He realizes everyone he loves dies, and his whole life is full of pain. So it’s better that he just escapes. He can’t die really. He just wants to get away from everything.”
Mangold on the fight scenes in the movie: ”There’s an urgency and a kind of intensity and hand to hand physicality to the fighting that I hope is a little different than everything else out there.”
On Yukio’s style: ”I think she’s both sexy and almost kind of sprung from the anime world. It’s a real badass character.”
