Filming is mor or less finished on James Mangold's The Wolverine, and we now have our first look at Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova as one of the movie's big bads, Viper, a role that Jessica Biel was originally in the running for.
In the comics, Viper is one of the heads of terrorist group Hydra, who were a major part of Captain America: The First Avenger. Expect this detail to be omitted from the movie version, since the rights to Hydra lie with Marvel Studios and Disney, and not Fox, who are distributing the film.
