Get hype, Ultimate Universe fans, as Marvel has released a trailer for Ultimate Wolverine! Written by Chris Condon with art by Alessandro Cappuccio, the newest ongoing series from he Ultimate line is set to debut on January 15th!
“When Wil Moss called me and asked me if I wanted to take on this title, I jumped at the chance and immediately had an idea of what to do with it,” said Condon back in October. “I’m bringing my essence of storytelling from That Texas Blood to the Marvel Universe with Wolverine, looking back at what came before and bringing us something new.”
The trailer reveals Wolverine hurtling from a plane into a fenced-in area. There are also images of him in a glass tube as a prisoner and the suggestion that The Maker has the help of Colossus to make that happen. Claws are popped quite a bit in the trailer as well! Other familiar faces include Mystique, Nightcrawler (who is a priest) and a battle between Wolverine and Colossus.
Watch the trailer below.

New York, NY— November 26, 2024 — This January, the new Ultimate Universe gets even deadlier with the launch of ULTIMATE WOLVERINE! Written by rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Venom War: Daredevil) and drawn by powerhouse artist Alessandro Cappuccio (Moon Knight), the newest ongoing series of Marvel’s hit Ultimate line introduces Wolverine as the Winter Solider, an agent of the diabolical mastermind behind this corrupt world, the Maker! Today, fans can see Wolverine unleashed in the all-new ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #1 trailer, featuring never-before-seen artwork. Plus, check out all the ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #1 covers, including pieces by superstar artists like Lee Bermejo, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Gleb Melnikov, Steve Skroce, Josemaria Casanovas, and Leinil Francis Yu.
The action-packed trailer shows Wolverine is still the best there is as he’s deployed against mutantkind by his handlers, Magik, Colossus, and Omega Red. But are they really in control of the Maker’s most lethal asset, or is the man behind the mask ready to strike out on his own? The trailer also reveals that the series will debut Ultimate versions of other X-Men icons, starting with Nightcrawler and Mystique.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be tackling one of the absolute greatest comic book characters of all time in a totally new and unique way with a powerhouse artist like Alessandro Cappuccio, a dynamite colorist like Bryan Valenza, and a showstopping letterer like Cory Petit,” Condon shared. “Each issue we have planned pushes the ideas that we all have about Wolverine to their limits – which is everything that an ‘ultimate’ Wolverine should be.”
