An Unrated Cut Of "The Wolverine" On Disc Is Possible

Despite the fact that Hugh Jackman's Logan gets plenty of opportunity to use his claws to defeat the bad guys throughout "The Wolverine," the audience doesn't see any severed limbs or arterial spatters and the claws themselves stay clean throughout the film save from one key scene in the pic.

The sanitized display is a necessity for the film to receive a PG-13 rating for a theatrical run. On home video though, the restrictions do not apply. 

In fact, director James Mangold told Digital Spy that the forthcoming Blu-ray release could include a bloodier cut of the film.

"I’m very happy with the cut, and the studio was very generous in terms of letting me finish the movie as I wanted, but I do think we will have a slightly more violent version… let’s say an unrated, a bloodier version."

He was then asked about the additional scenes we might see on the disc:

"There’s about ten or 12 minutes of scenes that I’d love people to see, that we’ll produce some kind of longer version of the movie at some point on Blu-ray or whatever. There’s another great scene with Hiro Sanada and a much more elaborate battle with ninjas from the third act that is a pretty huge battle sequence that you’ll see."
