While we've seen him in X-Men, everyone has been dying to see the first shot of Hugh Jackman dressed as Wolverine from the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Cinematical has gotten their hands on the first image of the Australian actor in his costume for the new film.

The image shows a very young-looking Jackman in the black leather outfit familiar to fans of the first three X-Men movies, complete with trademark sideburns.

The film stars Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine and Liev Shrieber. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is due to arrive in theatres in 2009.
