Maybe this only applies in Hollywood, but there seems to be no better résumé builders these days than (1) getting killed by vampires and (2) performing paranormal feats in spandex onesies. Lynn Collins, 29, has recently mastered both skill sets—the former in season one of HBO’s Golden Globe-winning True Blood, and the latter in this month’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. “Everything’s all about superpowers and sucking blood,” she says. Meaning, she’s found the only recession-proof gig in America. In Origins, a Wolverine bio-pic akin to Walk the Line for mutants with indestructible Adamantium skeletons, Collins plays Silver Fox, the title character’s love interest. She’s also the token woman in a very male cast. “I had to play off all the guys and their testosterone-heavy abilities,” she says. “But I learned that the female powers of persuasion easily trump fangs and knives and guns.” Perhaps they can also be used to wean Hugh Jackman off show tunes.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first chapter in the X-Men saga, unites Wolverine with several other legends of the X-Men universe, in an epic revolution that pits the mutants against powerful forces determined to eliminate them.

Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar, as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, adamantium claws, and a primal fury known as berserker rage. X-Men Origins: Wolverine stays true to the tone of the X-Men motion picture franchise, continuing the films’ balance between spectacle and reality, while heightening the emotions and relationships.

The film also introduces a team of mutants, including several whose appearances in the movie series have been long anticipated. Movie audiences will meet Team X, a covert military cadre comprised entirely of mutants. Its members are: Wolverine; his brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth, a feral being of unimaginable power; Wade Wilson, later to be known as Deadpool, a high-tech mercenary skilled at swordplay; Agent Zero, an expert tracker and lethal marksman; Wraith, a teleporter; Fred J. Dukes, also known as The Blob, a morbidly obese and super-strong behemoth; and Bradley, who can manipulate electricity. Leading them is William Stryker, a figure introduced in X2 but whose origins and motives are now fully explored, for it is Stryker’s complex relationship with Wolverine that defines much of Logan’s past …and future.
