Liam McIntyre Brings Vulnerability to Wolverine's Bottomless Rage
Liam McIntyre is an actor who plays Wolverine, a superhero with sharp metal claws, in a new video game called Marvel's Wolverine.
He does the character's voice and also acts out his movements for the game.
This Wolverine is younger and has forgotten big parts of his past.
He feels very angry but does not know why.
During the game, Logan joins a team with other characters like Mystique and Sabretooth.
He wants to protect people who cannot protect themselves.
The angrier Wolverine gets, the more powerful his moves look on screen.
The game makers also want players to think about Logan's feelings, not just the fighting.
The game will be released on September 15 for the PlayStation 5.
Liam McIntyre provides voice and motion-capture performance for Logan in Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine.
This younger Wolverine, roughly 200 years old, begins the game having lost much of his memory after an amnesic event.
Logan joins Team X alongside Mystique, Sabretooth, and Nathaniel Essex while forming bonds with Jean Grey.
McIntyre describes Logan's "bottomless rage" and a desire to protect people who cannot protect themselves.
Marvel's Wolverine launches September 15 exclusively on PlayStation 5.
