X-Men Origins: Wolverine – The making of the man, the myth, the mutant

Released in 2009 and directed by Gavin Hood, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of how Logan, the clawed antihero of the X-Men saga, became the feral legend we know. With Hugh Jackman reprising his iconic role, the film explores the pain, trauma, and transformation that shaped Marvel’s most complex mutant.

From his 19th-century childhood as James Howlett to his years as a soldier alongside his brother Victor Creed, the film traces Logan’s journey through war, betrayal, and loss. When captured by Colonel Stryker, he becomes part of the Weapon X program, which coats his skeleton in unbreakable adamantium, sealing his fate as a near-immortal weapon.

Visually striking and emotionally charged, the movie blends war epic, revenge tale, and sci-fi tragedy. It also introduces younger versions of fan favorites — Cyclops, Gambit, Deadpool, and Sabretooth, played with intensity by Liev Schreiber.

While divisive among critics, the film remains a key chapter in the X-Men cinematic universe, laying the groundwork for later Wolverine-focused stories. It’s a story of evolution — from man to myth, from soldier to survivor — and the beginning of a legacy that would find its full emotional weight in Logan (2017).

A raw, primal origin story that captures the essence of what it means to be both hero and monster.
