Some blood on those adamantium claws?

“If there was ever a superhero movie that was going to be R-rated, it’s Wolverine ,” actor Hugh Jackman tells MTV and having seen Wolvie in action in the comics we'd have to agree.

Jackman even admits he and director James Mangold have discussed shooting two versions - one that's kid-friendly and one for fans who want more blood, guts and after-hours language.

“However, in the last 10 years, I’ve also met many, many 12, 13 – dare I say 10, 14, 15 year-olds – who, for them, Wolverine is not just cool, you see it in their eyes. He’s everything to them. So my thing is - which James and I talked about - is let’s not put it off the table,” Jackman added.

“There’s even a talk of us doing two versions, as in finding a way for us to do both as you shoot it, which could be really cool. But you need to have a really good reason to exclude those fans.”
