Edward Said generally explains the whole hegemonic relations, which Western societies use to dominate Eastern countries, as orientalism. In the course of time, orientalism has evolved into several forms and it is redefined in different geographies. In this context, the form of hegemonic relationship, which the United States has tried to establish in East Asian countries (particularly Japan) in recent years, is called techno-orientalism. It is known that techno-orientalism is generally seen in science fiction films. Hollywood films are one of the main factors in the creation and distribution of Western hegemony. In this sense, The Wolverine, which is the most watched film in the world and the entire film is set in Japan, was selected as a sample. Descriptive film analysis method was used in the study. The aim of the study is to indicate the implicit relationship of Western domination by revealing invisible codes in the film universe in terms of techno-orientalism. As a result, it is revealed that the Wolverine, who is created with a techno-orientalist viewpoint in the film's narrative, tries to relieve Western audience by eliminating the threats; Japan and East Asia that develop economically and technologically in Western mind.
