There's a fashion in film title for lots of captions, but the backlash against it "The Batman", "The Wolverine", "Logan", "John Carter", "John Wick", "Jack Reacher", "Victor Frankenstein", "Robin Hood", "Rocky Balboa", etc. are nearly as tiresome. Maybe there was a time that title would look like a statement of intent, but now I just picture some gob****e in a pitch meeting talking about going back to basics, finding out who the protagonist really is...

Okay, rant over.

Tefral

They keep going on about the use of Old Man Logan, however that storyline is impossible without the hulk and hawkeye.

Remains to be seen what leaks out over this.. I am looking forward to it. I cant help it being a big comic book fan

Particularly when it's the second time, in a row, doing so for the same character / series.

Always potential though with these films. Usually squandered, but always potential.

It's either that or try and recast. I think they need to step back from Wolverine for a bit now.

Agreed.

If Fox are intending to keep the X-Men movies, just reboot the entire thing. The timeline and characters have become so screwed up by this point that all these soft reboots by changing timelines etc are making things far worse, not better.

Does anyone else think Hugh jackman is a bit old at this stage to play him? Granted in the comics I believe he's supposed to be a bit dishevelled so in some ways he's more suitable now than ever, but I think he's a bit old to be playing the same wolverine that's he's always played.

It might work if he's playing a withered wolverine.

Well, yeah, the whole point of this film is that he's now older and he's aging more. This film is set a number of years after the previous films.

Wolverine looks like he's supposed to be pretty withered in this, Jackman looked more suited to the part in The Wolverine and Day of Future Past than he ever did imo. Not sure about that beard though.

Trailer looks good, you would be forgiven for not realising it's an x-men film at all.

He is modeled off the "Old Man Logan" storyline.

Looks good, if a little downbeat; not sure how I feel about

a destitute & ageing Professor X & what seems like his dying (putting 2 and 2 together based on what appears like Logan burying somebody)

.

The Fox X-Men universe's timeline is so broken I'm not even going to try and speculate how this will all fit into things. To the point where maybe the safest approach is to assume every X-Men film is set within its own universe.

I thought the same until his claws came out, was waiting for Jean Valjean (Les Misérables) to burst into song

Any chance of a Deadpool cameo

Love that version of Hurt by Johnny Cash

The size of that kids fingers on the poster. They wrap around Logans hand with room to spare.

Could be a mutant I suppose. Odd either way.

FunLover18

He doesn't really look like Wolverine, he just looks like Hugh Jackman.

I'm intrigued though, but I'm not going to let myself get too excited but the X-Men movies are so hit and miss.

Look up Laura Kinney

almost like an art film TBH !

Will give it a shot, at the very least it looks TOTALLY different to whats come before.

That fits.

This being Hugh Jackmans last wolverine film do you think we could get a more true to the comics wolverine next time?
I want a 5foot 5inch wolverine. sick of him being a giant.

Bacchus

So... what's that about all the mutants being gone? Can he no longer heal in this?

Trailer looked great anyway, a very different take on an X-Men movie and as said above, doesn't even look like an X-Men movie.

The scars he's covered in had me wondering the same.

I checked out the wiki page for the movie and it sets the context...

X-Men wiped out by bad guy. Logan's powers are simply fading and Prof X has alzheimers. Pretty bleak (and great) setup

My apologies! Probably should have like d at the trailer first. He could be perfect for it so!

Yup, that sounds about as miserable as the trailer looked; don't get me wrong it all sounds fascinating but methinks this'll be a grim adventure.

RED BAND TRAILER :eek:

Not safe for work/kids etc..

So far, I think this looks great. Jackman has always been the most consistent part of the X-Movies and while the first Wolverine movie was rough, I really liked the second one (a disappointing end notwithstanding). I'm glad that, while they're taking the vague concept of Old Man Logan, they don't seem to be attempting the story itself.

I agree with the timeline point; I think Fox really needs to just start again. They could use Deadpool as a jumping off point.

I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape about Logan's height in the movies. It's not an integral part of his character in the comics. Yes, he's short in the comics, sure but that's really quite incidental...

X-Men adventures usually are pretty grim so that fits!

Its not that I didn't like him in the movies but when I was growing up him being small but near unstoppable was big factor in me liking him. Maybe its because I was short until I got a late growth or whatever but a small wolverine would be great imho.

That's fair!

Drumpot

I am really looking forward to this.

Hope its a serious movie (no Deadpool or gimmicky sh*t), that gives Jackman's Wolverine & Prof X a fitting sendoff.

Frank Bullitt

Great choice of music for that. Just doesnt look like an X-Men movie at all.

I can't wait for it.

Looks really good. A far cry from the first x-men installment.

Ya know.. watching the trailer I was thinking Hugh Jackman has got a very similar look to one Mel Gibson had recently...

I want a Deadpool cameo but going by the trailer it does look more dark and serious

Yeah, but I realise I grew up with Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Picard to a lesser extent, and watching him play an obviously frail, beaten and ailing version of Xavier is breaking my heart just thinking about it!

The Fox X-Men universe's timeline is so broken I'm not even going to try and speculate how this will all fit into things. To the point where maybe the safest approach is to assume every X-Men film is set within its own universe.

Director James Mangold dropped a few hints as to how the film fits.

Talking to Empire, Mangold stated that, “We are in the future, we have passed the point of the epilogue of Days Of Future Past," and while that may seem obvious, since Logan is set in 2024, it does answer at least one big question that loomed over the film.


At the risk of getting too nerdy: The Wolverine ended with a mid-credits scene that connected that film to The Last Stand (the mysterious resurrection of Prof. X), while also setting up the events of Days of Future Past. Yet, with DoFP having eliminated the Sentinel-controlled future, leaving Wolverine of the 70s on the path to a new fate, we know (in part from X-Men: Apocalypse) that the events of XO:W no longer exist, and the events of The Wolverine can no longer be same, either.

The question about Logan was whether or not the film was a direct continuation of The Wolverine or would it pick up with the new OT timeline we left an older Logan in at the end of DoFP? Now Mangold has confirmed that its indeed the latter case.

First X-Men movie I've been looking forward to for a while.

That's the only trailer they should release .

flangemeistro

When it shows the girl at the end with the sunglasses on all I could think of was XI from stranger things.
Looks seriously good.

Sad Professor

A superhero movie in which the superhero doesn't save the world? What sacrilege is this?

pixelburp

It even looks like the big climax won't involve a menacing, glowing beam shooting into the sky.
