Logan takes on the role of protector for the Wolverine 3 movie and we get another glimpse of him doing so for his young charge.
As they reveal more and more about the Wolverine 3 movie, titled Logan, we can definitely tell this is going to be quite a different take for Logan (Hugh Jackman). That makes us shiver with anticipation to see a more dramatic and dimensional take on this character. Of course, we love it when we can find humor with Logan, but knowing that this is Hugh’s last time taking on the role, we want to see the best Wolverine that he can give us. This movie looks like it’s going to deliver on that.
(Warning: mild spoilers to follow)
The new Logan international poster features Jackman and Dafne Keen, who plays Laura. As many Wolverine fans know, Laura is also known as X-23, the first successful clone from Logan’s DNA. As such, she has several of the same attributes that Logan possesses, which are superhuman strength, reflexes, agility, and his healing factor.
But in this movie, Logan’s powers have deteriorated over the years, which now keeps him in constant pain. Thus, he resorts to drinking.
Also in the movie are Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor Charles Xavier, Boyd Holbrook as Donald Pierce, Stephen Merchant as Caliban, Elizabeth Rodriguez as Gabriela, and Elise Neal and Eriq LaSalle in unrevealed roles. This will be Hugh Jackman’s ninth time playing the Wolverine character.
Set in the future, Logan and Professor Charles Xavier must cope with the loss of the X-Men when a corporation led by Nathaniel Essex is destroying the world leaving it to destruction, with Logan’s healing abilities slowly fading away and Xavier’s Alzheimer’s forcing him to forget. Logan must defeat Nathaniel Essex with the help of a young girl named Laura Kinney, a female clone of Wolverine.
Logan arrives in theaters March 3, 2017.
