Social media is buzzing about the news, but it seems fans aren’t exactly surprised that the franchise’s best known mutant will be on screen.
Holy smokes, Wolverine is in an X-Men movie? That never happens.

I'm confused, why does FOX think we would think Wolverine as a surprise? We all know he's in the film because he's ALWAYS been in every XMEN
