Don't worry -- those claws are wax, not adamantium.
Visitors to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas got a three-dimensional sneak preview today of Wolverine, the character Hugh Jackman plays in the new film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which premieres Friday in theaters across the country.
The wax museum, located at the Venetian Resort Hotel/Casino, unveiled its life-sized "Wolverine" wax figure on the moving walkway between the Strip and the Venetian this morning, letting the media get a glimpse of the X-Men anti-hero character.
The museum said the wax figure will be at Madame Tussauds for "a limited engagement."
