Reprising his iconic role as The Wolverine for the last time is the Academy Award nominated actor, Hugh Jackman in Logan and James Mangold has helmed this defining chapter of the cinematic saga of one of the greatest comic book heroes ever created.
It is the 10th edition of the X-Men film series and the 3rd of the Wolverine series (X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009 and The Wolverine in 2013).
Hugh Jackman first brought his electrifying energy to the mutant known as Wolverine way back in 2000 in the film that launched the modern-day comic-book blockbuster, director Bryan Singer’s original X-Men. Since then, the acclaimed Australian actor has slipped into the skin of the world’s most famous mutant a record 10 times on the big screen. But this time, with Logan, Jackman had the chance to craft something truly special.
The strength of Wolverine is more his humanity than his superpower. While the earlier film, The Wolverine (2013) adapted from the landmark 1980 comic miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller and reflected the spirit of Japanese noir and samurai films as well as American westerns, this one explores that character for the last time, as the protagonist gets to the heart of that human side than more than what his claws can do. This final installment is a standalone tale that firmly stands out as an intimate family journey.
Claws out on the must-see motion picture event of the year on March 3 when Logan finally bows in India in English, Tamil and Telugu from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
