Superherohype carries confirmation from 20th Century Fox that the very first trailer for Wolverine will hit theaters with the studio’s The Day the Earth Stood Still on December 12. The trailer won’t be released online or on television until sometime later, so you’ll need to pay to watch Keanu Reeve’s wooden acting to watch the trailer.

Wolverine is due out May 1, 2009 and stars Hugh Jackman as the titular character, as well as Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Will.i.am and many more. The film will serve as a prequel, exploring the famous X-Men character’s life, the Weapon X program and events which lead up to the first X-Men movie.
