We recently gave our Logan a character makeover, changing primarily the hairstyle. Originally we were going with the classic comic, Hugh Jackman style. But we really want to pull the character off as a real person, and the classic hairstyle looks very contrived, especially in person. We want to give the impression that his hair naturally grows into the shape it forms, and (even though we do use them) that there's no product in the hair.
So we dived into a bunch of Wolvie comics and otherwise, and arrived at another solution. It's the version you've seen in some of the newer comics where his hair is a tad bangy in front and slighty wings up in the very back. It's in the range of Ultimate X-Men, and maybe even sort of X-Men: Evolution. It most closely resembles the style seen in the video game Marvel Alliance.
We are getting some fan resistance, but mostly support, on the subject. Just keep in mind that this is our own take on the character, and furthermore we don't want to do the same old thing that's being done in other films. It would almost be redundant to go down the same road as everything else. You want to see something original, you want to a Wolverine movie unlike any other? You got it. This is one small part of that equation.
