A new poster for the upcoming “The Wolverine” has been released and it’s perhaps the most striking of the lot. Done in a similar sumi-e style as this one, it has Jean Grey front and center – painted in blood and ink.

Check it out in full above, just click to enlarge.

Collider notes that it’s Fox’s Chief Creative Officer Tony Sella who’s in charge of the sumi-e-style poster campaign, and you just have to admit that he’s done a fabulous job.

Fans of the X-Men franchise will recognize Famke Janssen on the most recent release, as Jean Grey, Logan / Wolverine’s lost love.

The fact that there’s blood on the poster makes me think of the worst, I have to admit.

“Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed,” reads a brief synopsis of the film.
