By Brian Anthony Hernandez2013-05-05 16:14:41 UTCGolden Globe winner Hugh Jackman unleashed a series of YouTube videos this week in which he answered 11 Twitter users' questions about The Wolverine movie.
Fans submitted questions via Twitter using hashtags #AskHugh and #TheWolverine.
Jackman, who is playing the disgruntled hero with regenerative abilities for the sixth time in the X-Men film franchise, tweeted his answers and links to the videos on his @RealHughJackman account. You can watch all of them in this video gallery:
The film hits theaters July 26, and tackles Wolverine's immortality. "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," according to 20th Century Fox.
The Wolverine also features Silver Samurai and Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova). Its trailer shows a glimpse of Famke Janssen's departed Jean Grey character, who may reappear more than once in flashbacks.
Jackman's Twitter chat was just one part of 20th Century Fox's digital promotional blitz for The Wolverine. Aside from the traditional marketing tactics and video trailer, people involved with the film have leveraged Twitter, Vine, Facebook and YouTube to build anticipation for the summer release.
Director James Mangold, for example, shared a six-second Vine "tweaser," which teased a 20-second teaser for the movie's trailer.
Mangold is also tweeting exclusive images from the flick.
For its part, 20th Century Fox unleashed two beautiful "motion posters" on YouTube:
And on Facebook, people can create a Wolverine cover photo with their name on it:
