The Wolverine director James Mangold is a big tease. On Monday, he shared a six-second Vine, which serves as the teaser for Tuesday's 20-second teaser for the movie's trailer that arrives Wednesday. He's calling the six seconds of looping video a "tweaser."
The flick stars Hugh Jackman and comes out July 26. Among the action-packed scenes in the Vine are glimpses of Viper and Silver Samurai, and a short clip of Jean Grey, hinting at the possible return of Famke Janssen's character (presumably in flashbacks).

Update: Mangold announced Tuesday that a 20-second teaser will not be released as he previously mentioned.
APOLOGIES. I misinterpreted THE WOLVERINE roll out. We are going directly from Tweaser to full 2min Teaser tomorrow. No in-betweenty. Sorry!— James Mangold (@mang0ld) March 26, 2013
20th Century Fox also released two movie posters for the film, including this one:
This isn't the film industry's first crack at using Vine, Twitter's video-sharing service, which debuted as an iOS app in January.
The Tribeca Film Festival, for example, has challenged filmmakers to create short films using the app. And Oscilloscope Labs’ new film, It’s a Disaster, made its web debut via Vine.
