For those of you who were disappointed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine, these newly-released trailers for James Mangold‘s The Wolverine make it seem like the film has just the right formula to make up for it.

In both the domestic and international trailers for the film, we get a glimpse of what Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) has been up to since X-Men: The Last Stand. Isolated in a moody, atmospheric Japanese setting and struggling against his own inner demons, the trailers shows that the film will deal with a tremendous amount of growth for the character, all the while delivering on all of the great comic book action we have come to expect from the X-Men franchise.

While both trailers generally convey the same thing, they are different enough from each other to give both a look. Hit the jump to watch!

Official Synopsis:

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. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
