Reavers

The Reavers are the movie’s baddies – although we believe that they do answer to someone, and that someone isn’t Zander Rice. Just as James Mangold wanted, they are realistically enhanced. But, unlike what the first trailer led us to believe, they are all augmented in some way. Donald Pierce isn’t the only one with a bionic arm – we also see someone with a gun-arm (which must be pretty inconvenient most of the time), someone with a claw-arm, and so on.

And speaking of Donald Pierce…After viewing the second trailer, we get the impression that he is more than capable of taking on Wolverine. We still don’t know what the character’s abilities are in the film, but the way he talks (with Wolverine and, later on, with Laura) shows that he is the top dog and he won’t be easily overthrown.

And he also says something very interesting – that he needs the girl. Does this mean that he’s just muscle for hire? We don’t believe so, since he could have asked for the girl in another way. So maybe Laura isn’t just another subject in the Weapon X program.
