The latest X-Men franchise film from director James Mangold (The Wolverine) gives us a slight glimpse of Hugh Jackman’s eponymous role as The Wolverine with a new poster.
There have been speculations that this might be Jackman’s final role as the anti-hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Titled ‘Logan’, the Wolverine standalone movie is said to have a ‘very different tone’ from its previous offerings.
The Wrap reported that Logan will feature a much older and significantly crippled Wolverine living out his last days in 2024, and forced to get by in spite of his failing health and diminishing regenerative abilities. Logan is in charge of mentoring a small girl possessed of her own pair of claws – only she possesses two blades on each hand instead of three – and a comparably aged Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) whose mind has begun to deteriorate, aided by the albino mutant Caliban (Stephen Merchant). It’s also been revealed that those born with mutant abilities in 2024 are on the decline, and that an organization called Transigen is taking young mutants and turning them into killing machines.
Are you excited for this? Logan is slated to open InCinemas March 2017!
