I would hope not since that would drastically change the story. Spoilers ahead!
Wolverine dies in the future after Kitty Pride is sent back in time. He attacked a Sentinel base and got slaughtered seemingly as a diversion. Also Xavier died a long time ago and it's one of the causes of the timeline being so badly messed up. Nevermind explaining why he's not dead from X3, that took place in another timeline, they need to explain why he's not long since dead in the future. I love Patrick Stewart but this seems wrong already. Also Magneto is supposed to be a paraplegic and dies quickly too. The trailer seems to show a different version of events.
I wouldn't mind that Xavier still lives because this is in an alternate timeline, so that doesn't necessarily contradict the previous films, even "X-3."

I'm too cheap to buy comics so I read the cliff notes and look at the pretty pictures. Like Wolverine and Storm getting pwned-
Ah, so it's from the comics. But will that be the film? The trailer shows that Wolverine travels back in time, or, rather he reverses time so that he returns to his younger self.
It looks like the film will be taking liberties with the story. From the very start it's different. In the movie it looks like Wolverine will be taking Kitty Prydes place in the time travel angle. In the comic they used her because she was new to the team at the time they want to go back to. Her mind wouldn't be shielded from mental attacks yet and her future self would be able to enter it, her body stays in the future.
That being said they might be teasing us with the trailer. Wolverine might be the first choice but he could die and future Kitty might end up doing it like the comics. That would make fans happy. I'm worried though because in the movies they show Wolverine as weak to mental attacks but in the comics his super healing, years of brain trauma and Xaviers efforts have made him very hard to read or attack mentally. So it could go either way.
Really? I like Wolverine, although I agree that the films overuse him, but I believe that it's mainly because the actor who plays him is better than some of the other actors.
Hugh Jackman is cool but he's a pretty lame Wolverine. In the comics and other media he's much more feral and macho. In the movie he's just some dude who gets mad occasionally and grits his teeth.
I believe that filmmakers reduced his harsher qualities because they didn't want an R-rated movie which kids couldn't pay to see. It's more about money.
I'm no fan of excessive R-rated material like gore and nudity, but that filmmakers G-rate films so that they make more money annoys me sometimes, especially when it's unrealistic and/or untrue to source material. However, I don't know much about Wolverine from the comics, so I can't comment too much on any differences.
Perhaps the filmmakers didn't want a hero who killed too many people because, well, that's not too "heroic." However, they should make realistic violence and not restrict a character too "uncharacteristically." Filmmakers should always depict action scenes as they would occur in reality, which is now more prevalent because of the recent shift in action movies.
Killing people shouldn't make you less heroic. It's the context of the killings that matter. What they wanted is a character they can market to families without stupid soccer moms flipping out about the violence. He still stabs some people but there's no blood really so it's more like he's beating them up.
Filmmakers should always depict action scenes as they would occur in reality, which is now more prevalent because of the recent shift in action movies.
Why should they be limited to that constraint if it's not something the comics do?
I'm willing to concede that there's a lot of movies that could use more humanity and a lot less flash when it comes to the physical conflicts, (I'm looking at you, Star Wars prequels) but I don't believe you'd argue against the idea that even modern comics present exaggerated combat on occasion.
I understand that some like exaggerated combat, but how can a person watch a movie fight scene while he/she continually wonders whether a character could fight more efficiently, or why too much or not enough blood is everywhere. If filmmakers want that people take comic book films seriously enough (but not too much), they should depict combat properly.
Really cool site that reveals some of the story for the upcoming movie. Lots of cool stuff and some big changes but overall I think the story stays about the same.
