Logan **Spoilers from post 212**

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.

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.

please dont kill Wolverine:(:(:(:(:(

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.

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

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.

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

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...

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

I can't wait for it.

Rick and Morty did it first :pac:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

That's the only trailer they should release .
