Logan is a 2017 American superhero film starring Hugh Jackman as the titular character. It is the tenth film in the X-Men film series and the third and final installment in the Wolverine trilogy following X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013). The film, which takes inspiration from “Old Man Logan” by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, based in a bleak future, follows an aged Wolverine and an extremely ill Charles Xavier who defends a young mutant named Laura from the villainous Reavers led by Donald Pierce and Zander Rice.
After years of campaigning, Ryan Reynolds has finally won. He and Hugh Jackman will be reuniting in a film to play Deadpool and Wolverine together. Yes, Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett, once an X-Man, now a dead man, is back. Despite officially bidding farewell to the character in 2015, and the character heroically dying in 2017’s Logan, Jackman has been convinced to reprise his much-loved mutant character once again.
Wolverine’s existence in the MCU had been teased in the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law credits sequence, and he will make his big screen reappearance in Deadpool 3, the first Deadpool film that takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This will be the first time that Deadpool and Wolverine will be together since X-Men: Origins – Wolverine. Deadpool joining the MCU means the trilogy enters a franchise that has already established numerous concepts, chief among them the multiverse, the idea that an infinite number of universes exist featuring endless possibilities, characters, and timelines.
Logan, now a iconic masterpiece in the superhero genre, marked Hugh Jackman’s poignant farewell as Wolverine. But what if the narrative didn’t conclude there? That’s the intriguing question posed by this fresh video, primarily serving as a heartfelt tribute to Jackman. The Australian actor, once an unknown, embraced the role of the X-Men character, portraying him multiple times over a remarkable 17-year span.
While Logan provided a fitting end for the hero, portraying a man weathered by years of warfare and violence, the trailer subtly suggests the possibility of his resurgence. It underscores his enduring yearning for family and his aspiration to reintegrate into the X-Men world.
In terms of Logan’s future, while there’s widespread excitement about the prospect of Hugh Jackman in a potential Logan 2, it’s undeniably challenging to surpass the brilliance of the original film. It successfully fulfilled the long-awaited desire for an R-rated Wolverine movie, a feat many deemed improbable considering the rating and tone.
