One of the biggest reveals from the September PlayStation Showcase was Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine. There's very little information on the game so far, but Insomniac used the first teaser trailer to reinforce a common setting for the character: a seedy bar. Wolverine's most recognizable appearances come in the X-Men and standalone Wolverine Marvel films produced by 20th Century Fox, where the adamantium-skeleton'd mutant is frequently found drinking and terrorizing local ne'er-do-wells.

Marvel's Wolverine likely won't be released for quite some time, since Insomniac appears to have its hands full already. Just in the last year, the studio released Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and the PlayStation Showcase also delivered a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 revealSpider-Man 2 was given a release window of 2023, while Wolverine didn't received one, implying the latter will come sometime after the web-slinging sequel.

Actor Hugh Jackman became the embodiment of Wolverine as a character ever since he donned the role in 2000's X-Men. Jackman reprised the role six times, culminating in 2017's Logan, and made three additional cameo appearances as the character. Wolverine's status as a mutant, especially one perceived as feral, has led him to lead a secluded life, which often translates in the films to him drinking alone in bars. At this point, seeing Wolverine in a bar has become a trope, and the Marvel's Wolverine game trailer reinforces that loner characterization.

Marvel's Wolverine Game Sees Him As A Connoisseur Of Dive Bars

Marvels Wolverine Trailer Bar

Hugh Jackman's very first appearance as Wolverine involved a scene in a bar. In X-Men, Wolverine is approached while smoking a cigar at a bar and told he owes a man some money. Not one to be intimidated, Wolverine brandishes his adamantium claws, pinning down the attempted debt collector and slicing the proprietor's shotgun in half when he tries to intervene. A fight scene against Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine begins in a bar, though it quickly moves outside when Wolverine is thrown through a wall.

Jackman's cameo in 2011's X-Men: First Class also takes place in a bar, where he succinctly tells Professor X and Magneto to "go f--k yourself" when they approach him while recruiting mutants. Near the beginning of The Wolverine, Logan also confronts a hunter in a bar in rural Canada for using poison-tipped arrows. For the most part, all these bars appear to be small-town establishments. Aside from the fight with Sabertooth, Wolverine sticking an arrow through the hunter's hand in The Wolverine is the most violent bar scene, a stark contrast to what is shown in the Marvel's Wolverine cinematic trailer.

The bar itself certainly fits the trope; it looks like little more than a pool hall, with handwritten, chalkboard signs and stickers all over the taps. Logan wears a red flannel shirt and cowboy hat, while his would-be assailant is dressed in a leather vest, complete with wallet chain. Whereas, in the movies, Wolverine quickly leaves the bars before violence can escalate, the Marvel's Wolverine trailer shows the place littered with bodies before cutting to Logan's bloody, claw-brandishing fists.
