* WolverineClaws: Wolverine's weapons of choice are still the mental claws that pop out of his hands.

* TheAtoner: Wolverine goes to Japan to reflect on how he's surrounded by death and face his guilt for killing Jean Grey.
* BroughtDownToNormal: To a certain extent. Wolverine's healing factor is suppressed for part of the film, but he still seems to have his claws.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The film is said to be more serious than the previous X-Men movies, and will downplay the superhero aspects in favor of presenting the story as a noir crime drama.
* DyeingForYourArt: HughJackman did this just after losing weight for ''Film/LesMiserables''.

* ColorCharacter: Silver Samurai.

* GenreShift: James Mangold has referred to the film as more of a FilmNoir piece rather than a {{Superhero}} film, and specifically contrasted it with the big spectacle of ''Film/TheAvengers''.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Averted with the Silver Samurai, who is seen in set photos wearing his trademark suit of silver armor from the comics.
* NotWearingTights: Wolverine doesn't wear his costume from the previous films, as he is no longer a member of the X-Men.
* RecycledTitle: There was ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', now just ''The Wolverine''.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Wolverine was already the first ''X-Men'' character to get his solo movie, but despite other character spin-offs such as ''SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}'' and ''{{Deadpool}}'' having been talked about at some points, Wolverine is now the only character to actually get a ''second'' movie. And if Xavier doesn't appear, he'll be the only character in all movies (as well as the first comics character played by the same actor six times - seven counting [[XMenDaysOfFuturePast another is on the way]]).
** Not to mention ''how'' solo this solo film is. This film is completely divorced from all non-Wolverine portions of the X-verse, unlike even the ''Origins'' film (which, ironically, gave ''Cyclops'' a much fairer deal than the main trilogy did.)
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Wolverine is offered a "gift": the chance to live a mortal life.
* WolverineClaws: Of course.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Famke Janssen reprises her role as Jean Grey for a flashback sequence]]. That being said, Jackman did confirm there would be a cameo from one of the X-Men.

* WolverinePublicity: Literally, since this is the TropeNamer. Wolverine was already the first ''X-Men'' character to get his solo movie, but despite other character spin-offs such as ''SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}'' and ''{{Deadpool}}'' having been talked about at some points, Wolverine is now the only character to actually get a ''second'' movie.

* OddlyNamedSequel
* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Famke Janssen reprises her role as Jean Grey for a flashback sequence]]. That being said, Jackman did confirm there would be a cameo from one of the X-Men.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Famke Janssen is rumored to reprise her role as Jean Grey for a flashback sequence]]. That being said, Jackman did confirm there would be a cameo from one of the X-Men.

* CanonDiscontinuity: The movie ignores the events of the critically panned ''XMenOriginsWolverine'', the previous Wolverine solo film.

Set some years after the events of ''XMenTheLastStand'', the movie follows Logan as he returns to Japan after the disbandment of the team. While there, he is caught up in a world of Yakuza intrigue and falls for Mariko Yashida, the daughter of a powerful crime lord.
