Film
Wolverine's origin is shown in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the fourth film in the X-Men film series (which, in the beginning of the film, is based strongly on the Origin comics), along with his and Victor Creed/Sabretooth's role on the two world wars, Weapon X, Team X and turning on each other. The film adds Creed in the Origin storyline, as Howlett's brother and fellow soldier. It also directly links Thomas Logan and Wolverine when Thomas states with his dying breath that he is Wolverine's real father.
The cast of the characters from the Origins comics are:
- Peter O'Brien as John Howlett
- Alice Parkinson as Elizabeth Howlett
- Aaron Jeffery as Thomas Logan
- Troye Sivan as Young James Howlett / Wolverine
- Michael James-Olsen as Young Victor Creed (Sabretooth)
- Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine/James Howlett
- Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed/Sabretooth

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
