One of the world's most popular anti heroes, "Wolverine," as portrayed by superstar Hugh Jackman in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," will be at Comic-con (7/23-26), exclusively presented in the Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment booth (Booth #1429 - Twentieth Century Fox), prior to its arrival at Madame Tussauds Hollywood on Aug. 1.
"I'm thrilled for Wolverine that he's getting immortalized," Jackman recently said in a pre-recorded message to fans.
It's the only Madame Tussauds-made "Wolverine" figure in the world and Comic-con visitors will have a "limited engagement" opportunity to see it up close and in person before the curtain comes down on this one-of-a-kind figure and it travels to its final destination in Hollywood where Los Angeles' biggest new attraction is set to open.
Added Jackman: "The very first trip I ever had as a young kid overseas is to London to Madame Tussauds and I never forgot it. I remember hanging out and never wanted to leave.
"So I think fans of Wolverine have to go to Madame Tussauds to see Wolverine and to expect it to jump at you…to slice you in half is very cool."
