This afternoon the folks at Fox updated some of the publicity materials for their upcoming film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The update included four previously seen high resolution photos from the film. As well, they also sent over a brand new theatrical poster, which can be seen below. They also provided the film’s official synopsis, which isn’t anything new:

Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar – as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury. Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits theaters on May 1, 2009. Just click the poster below to enlarge.
