Logan is a 2017 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman. The film, distributed by 20th Century Fox, is the tenth installment in the X-Men film series, as well as the third and final Wolverine film following X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013). It is directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Frank and Michael Green from a story by Mangold, and also stars Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant and Dafne Keen. The film follows a past-his-prime Logan undertaking a final adventure in a dystopian future.

Development of Logan began in November 2013 with the hiring of Mangold to write a treatment that takes inspiration from the comic book Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. In March 2014, Jackman signed on to star as Logan in what is intended to be his final portrayal of the character after having played the role for 17 years. That same month, Fox set a release date and officially brought Mangold onboard to direct. Green took over writing duties in April 2015 and by the following April, most of the supporting roles had been cast. Principal photography began in New Orleans on May 2, 2016, and moved to Natchez, Mississippi, before ending on August 19, 2016, in New Mexico.

Logan premiered at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival on February 17, 2017 and was released in the United States on March 3, 2017, in standard and IMAX formats.

Plot

In the year 2029, Logan, who has aged greatly because his healing factor has begun to falter due to adamantium poisoning, spends his days working as a chauffeur and hustling for prescription drugs in Texas. He and Caliban live in an abandoned smelting plant across the border in Mexico, where they care for a senile Charles Xavier, who had inadvertently killed several of his X-Men in a seizure-induced psychic attack one year earlier.

Logan is approached by Gabriela, a nurse for Transigen who asks him to escort her and an 11-year-old girl named Laura to a place in North Dakota called "Eden". After reluctantly accepting the job, Logan discovers that Gabriela has been murdered and he, Xavier, and Laura narrowly escape from Donald Pierce and the Reavers while Caliban is captured and ordered to use his mutant powers to track them. Logan and Xavier learn through a video on Gabriela's phone that Transigen was breeding children with DNA samples from several mutants, but upon completion of the "X-24" project, the children were to be put to death. Gabriela helped several children escape from the Transigen compound before smuggling Laura across the border. Furthermore, Laura is revealed to be Logan's "daughter", as she was bred with his DNA.

While staying in Oklahoma City, Logan develops skepticism over the location of Eden, as he discovers it being referenced in an X-Men comic book that Laura brought with her. The Reavers find their whereabouts, but Xavier suffers another seizure and freezes everyone at the hotel with a psychic blast. Logan injects Xavier with a suppressant before they leave the city.

The trio are given shelter by a family after helping them round up their horses during a highway incident. That night, Xavier and the family are killed by X-24, a perfect clone of Logan, who then shackles Laura and heads to the Reavers' van. Caliban grabs two grenades and sets them off, killing himself and destroying the van while Logan and Laura once again escape.

After burying Xavier, Logan reluctantly follows Laura's orders to take her to Eden. They arrive at Eden, which is a safe haven run by Rictor and former Transigen test subjects. There, Logan learns that the children will make an eight mile journey across the forest to the Canadian border, but they are quickly captured by the Reavers. Using a mutant serum given to him by Rictor, a re-energized Logan plows through the Reavers, but the serum wears off quickly before he meets Zander Rice, the head of the Transigen project who sought to avenge his father's death during the Weapon X program. Logan kills Rice while the children overwhelm Pierce with their powers, but he is outmatched by X-24. He is impaled through a tree during the fight, but Laura shoots X-24 in the head with an Adamantium bullet, which Logan had kept with him for years.

After Logan succumbs to his wounds, Laura and the children bury him before continuing their journey across the border.

Cast

The film is said to be Hugh Jackman's final portrayal of the character after having played the role for 17 years in nine films.
A physically enhanced mutant with accelerated healing; dealing with his age and ailment.[6][7] Mangold describes Logan as "old", as well as stating, "it’s clear his abilities aren't what they once were",[8] as well as one of Charles Xavier's caregivers, alongside Caliban.[8] Mangold spoke of Logan's age influencing his regenerative capabilities, to which he states may no longer produce soft skin,[9] "[...] So we imagined he heals quickly, still, but it leaves a scar. The simple idea was that his body would start to get a little more ravaged with a kind of tattooing of past battles, lacerations that remain of previous conflicts."[10] Jackman indicated that he believed he was nearing the end of his run as Wolverine, so there was speculation early on that his next film could be his last.[11] On the second page of screenplay, Mangold spoke of Logan as "[...] he's older now and it’s clear his abilities aren’t what they once were. He’s fading on the inside and his diminished healing factor keeps him in a constant state of chronic pain — hence booze as a painkiller."[12][13] Jackman requested for fan input on the direction Wolverine's story should go in the next film, while seeming to confirm that the project would serve as his farewell to Logan.[14] To prepare for his role, Jackman ate a minimum of six meals per day, when working with trainer Mike Ryan.[15] Ryan stated that an average workout session for Jackman lasts up to three hours, beginning at 4:00 a.m.[16] Jackman stated, "[...] it's going to be very different. Very different in tone and hopefully different to anything we’ve done."[17] Jackman explained that comedian Jerry Seinfeld was indirectly responsible for his decision to stop playing Logan after 17 years, with Jackman stating, "I was having a chat with [Seinfeld] about a year ago [...] he was talking about why he finished Seinfeld [...] He said he'd always had this feeling and belief that you never know when either your energy or the audience's energy is going to dip over into people [saying] 'Oh, please go.'"[18] Jackman accepted a pay reduction to ensure that the film would be produced to receive an R-rating.[19] Jackman also plays the villainous X-24, the perfect clone of Logan, with the assistance of CGI-special effects to make the character appear younger.
A mutant who is the world's most powerful telepath, and founder and former leader of the X-Men.[20][21] Charles's telepathic abilities have become unstable, and at times he doesn't even remember who Logan is.[8] During the events of Logan, Xavier is cared for by Logan and Caliban.[22] Regarding Xavier and the themes of ageing and loneliness, Mangold said,[23] "We've seen these characters in action, saving the universe. But what happens when you're in retirement and that career is over?[24] The really interesting thing to me, or a place to dig that hadn't been dug, was the idea of mutants when they're no longer useful to the world, or even sure if they can do what they used to do. Their powers are diminished like all of ours are by age."[7] "Our Charles is a very sweet character in this film. I think he's always been an incredibly sweet character. With the addition of his own physical fragility in this movie, he becomes an incredibly powerful paternal figure in the movie. Logan is more of a reluctant one, I think you can easily guess," Mangold stated.[25] Stewart remarked that "[...] this is probably the end of this franchise for me. But the thing about science fiction and fantasy is that you can never, ever say it's the end, it's over."[26] One month before the film's U.S. premiere, Stewart concluded that he will retire the role of Charles Xavier stating that "there will never be a better, a more perfect, a more sensitive, emotional, and beautiful way of saying au revoir to Charles Xavier than this movie".[27]
Surgical head of the project Transigen,[28] whose father was killed by Logan during his appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse.[29] On the character of Rice, Mangold stated, "He's the puppet master behind Pierce and the Reavers, and has a much larger role in the sense that he's actually the kind of brilliant mind that is trying to grow mutants."[25]
Transigen's relentless, calculating and intense head of security, and leader of the Reavers.[28][30][31] On the character of Pierce, Holbrook stated, "He's an innovative engineer and he's a big fan of Wolverine. He just wants to hang out with him [...] There's a lot of surprising stuff in it.[32] Mangold remarked that, "[Pierce] has a relationship with the institution that made Laura. He's been sent to retrieve her along with his team.",[25] while Mangold later puts forth that "[Holbrook] is just a fabulous actor. I wanted this film to feel intimate and real and truthfully acted, and I wanted very much to break away from the kind of bloated feeling I've gotten from a lot of comic-book movies."[25]
A mutant who can sense and track other mutants, who is helping Logan take care of Xavier.[8] On Merchant taking the role, Mangold mentioned, "I'm always interested to find the thing that looks most interesting on the actors. Stephen is a huge man. One of the things that is so wonderful filming with him for a character like this is that he’s a good six inches taller than Logan, and huge over Patrick. The little kid in the movie would come up to basically his knee. So there's a wonderful sense of scale – but he has heart too."[7] Mangold concluded by stating, "So that was a wonderful energy to enter the movie, and someone who instead of turning things into their own energy kind of joined ours."[7] Caliban was previously portrayed by Tómas Lemarquis in X-Men: Apocalypse.[33]
A mysterious young mutant, who is "very much" like Logan,[28][7] given that she is the female clone created from his blood, which was shown to be retrieved by the Essex Corporation at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse. Eventually Transigen acquired some of Logan's DNA, and began making clones to use as weapons.[34] On Keen's portrayal of Laura, Mangold mentioned, "If anyone could steal a movie from [Jackman], it would be Dafne. She carries, all the time, a slight strangeness."[35] Sienna Novikov served as Keen's stunt double.[36][37] In an interview with Digital Spy, Mangold stated, "[...] [Keen] was 11 years old when were shooting. She's a remarkable kid. Her parents are actors, and she's kind of a very modern kid. Very physically capable. Incredibly gifted as an actress. I mean, it was a huge risk for Fox to allow me to make a movie where the third point of the triangle was built upon someone so young."[25] Mangold revealed that the worldwide search for an actress to portray Laura was one in which he was seeking "someone who was bilingual because I wanted a Latina kid – one who was between 10 and 12, and was a credible child."[25] He later stated of Laura that: "She's an 11-year-old girl equipped with all the volatility, instability, mood swings, shadows and potential violence of our hero."[25]

Eriq La Salle as Mr. Moss, the father of a family who helps Logan, Charles, and Laura. Additionally, Elise Neal has been cast in an unidentified supporting role.[38] Doris Morgado, Elizabeth Rodriguez, David Kallaway, Han Soto and Krzysztof Soszynski appears as Maria, Gabriela, Danny Rhodes, Valet and Mohawk respectively.[39][40][41][42] In the commentary to X-Men: Apocalypse, director Bryan Singer had stated that his film's post-credits scene would directly connect with the on-screen debut of X-Men antagonist Nathaniel Essex / Mister Sinister in Logan;[43][44][45][46][47] however in January 2017, Mangold stated that the character would not be appearing in this film, a choice he made to keep the film's grounded style consistent.[48] Though Mister Sinister does not appear in the film, Kinberg confirmed the scene has correlation to how Laura was created, and that he will make an appearance in a future X-Men movie.[34] Ryan Reynolds makes an appearance as Wade Wilson / Deadpool in a pre-film scene, rather than the traditional placement after the credits, meant to be a teaser of sorts for the untitled Deadpool sequel. The short sequence, which plays before the opening scene of Logan, was directed by David Leitch who will also direct the Deadpool sequel.[49][50]

Production

Development

"Hugh and I have been talking about what we would do since we were working on the last one, and for both of us it was this requirement that, to be even interested in doing it, we had to free ourselves from some assumptions that had existed in the past, and be able to change the tone a bit. Not merely to change for change’s sake, but also to make something that’s speaking to the culture now, that’s not just the same style — how many times can they save the world in one way or another? How can we construct a story that’s built more on character and character issues, in a way as if it almost wasn’t a superhero movie, yet it features their powers and struggles and themes?"

— James Mangold, on the development and approach of Logan[51]

In November 2013, 20th Century Fox began negotiations for another solo film starring Wolverine, with James Mangold in negotiations to write the treatment for the film, and Lauren Shuler Donner returning to produce under The Donners' Company.[52][53][54][55] At the time, Hugh Jackman neither confirmed nor denied whether he had officially signed on to reprise Logan in another film,[56][57] though Jackman insisted that his lapsing contract with Fox, which reportedly will need to be renegotiated after X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014),[58] doesn't mean he'll leave the franchise, as he's been working movie-by-movie since X2 (2003).[59] He also stated, "I do want to do it with Jim and with [producer] Lauren Shuler-Donner because we had such a great experience. I'm really proud of The Wolverine (2013)."[60] Later in the month, James Mangold announced that the pre-production aspect of the film hasn't begun as of yet, nor the writing process, though he furthered this by stating, "[...] I would say I’m not there yet. But I have taken finger to key. Let’s say that. There’s been typing. And ideas. And talking amongst all the principles."[61]

Shortly after the release of The Wolverine, Mangold spoke of a potential sequel with the aim of not converting it into a "Will the world survive?" film, while also stressing "[...] not to make the same picture again."[62][63] Mangold also mentioned some of the potential development structure that he may employ, while also addressing issues of character-centricity,[64] "I think the key thing for me, you heard me talking about how I construct scripts, is just figuring out the key relationships and just what it’s about, what theme the whole thing is going to be about. I've got a good angle on it, but I'm not ready to talk about it yet!"[65] In December 2013, Jackman spoke of nearing the end of his tenure as the character, while stating the film being in the very early stages of development.[66] Jackman also revealed that Mangold and he had begun speaking of potential ideas, with him adding, "[...] Jim Mangold and I were literally on the phone last night talking about ideas but there is no script and no writer yet so it’s a way off."[67]

By March 2014, a decision was made to begin shooting after Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), with the tentative plan to shoot it back-to-back,[68][69] with producer Hutch Parker stating, "[...] the goal will be X:Men: Apocalypse for 2016, which means at the latest [filming begins] in summer 2015, and then the same thing with Wolverine, either before or after, but based on the script."[70] Also in March, 20th Century Fox set a release date of March 3, 2017,[71][72] Mangold boarded the project as director,[73] Jackman signed on to reprise his role,[74] and David James Kelly was hired to pen the as-yet unnamed screenplay.[75] In April 2014, Jackman spoke about his ambitious feelings for the character of Logan, while mentioning that they can go further than what they achieved in The Wolverine.[76] Jackman also expressed his feelings of finality with portraying the character of Logan,[77] while in terms of storyline, he explained that nothing had been decided as of yet.[78] Jackman concluded by highlighting the success of the script development will decide whether or Jackman returns at all,[79] "I haven't signed on signed on. I'm genuinely at that point where unless it's better than the last one I'm not going to do it. I think it has to be better. I can still see where we can improve on the last one. I love the intimacy of that story, I liked the small stuff, I liked that it was a little unexpected."[80]

In February 2015, Patrick Stewart spoke of discussions for the third Wolverine film to centre around a team-up between Jackman's Wolverine and himself as Charles Xavier,[81][82] with Stewart stating to Marc Mohan that, "[...] we have been talking about a Wolverine movie, which would team Hugh Jackman and myself together [...] That would be a very different sort of X-Men from the four movies that I've already done."[83][84] By April 2015, Michael Green had taken over screenwriting duties, with Mangold still actively overseeing the script development process.[85] In September 2015, Jackman spoke of the writers being halfway through the script and that the story will delve into the relationship between Wolverine and Professor X,[86] to which he expanded, "I think it's a really important relationship but I want to see signs of that quasi-father/son sort of relationship that has not been seen before, and sides of particularly Professor X that have not been seen before."[87][88] Jackman spoke of Mangold's plan being to start filming next year, though expressed uncertainty as to the filming locations.[89] Also in September, Mark Millar, creative consultant for Fox, confirmed Mangold's film will be a loose adaptation of the Old Man Logan story, something which was hinted at earlier by Jackman.[90] In October 2016, the title of the film was announced as Logan.[91][92]

In January 2016, Jackman confirmed that Mangold had a full screenplay, albeit it's not complete.[93] The following month, Liev Schreiber expressed interest in returning to portray Victor Creed / Sabretooth, with Jackman himself mentioning Mangold's vision to Schreiber. After the film's release, it was revealed by Jackman that originally the script had the character play a role in the film, but was excluded from the final screenplay.[94][95][96][97][98] By April 2016, Mangold had chosen actor Boyd Holbrook to portray the main antagonist of the movie,[99][100][101] the chief of security for a global corporation that is pursuing Wolverine.[102][103] Also by April, Richard E. Grant was cast as an as-of-yet unnamed villainous mad scientist,[104][105] and Stephen Merchant was cast in an unspecified role.[106][107][108][109][110] In May, Eriq Lasalle and Elise Neal were cast in as-of-yet unnamed roles,[111][112] and Elizabeth Rodriguez entered in negotiations for a small but key role.[113][114] Also in May, producer Simon Kinberg revealed that filming had already begun, while confirming that it will be R-rated, while suggesting the setting and tonality,[115] to which he stated, "It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It's violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film."[116][117]

Filming

Scenes for Logan were filmed at the NASA Michoud Plant in New Orleans East

In March 2015, Mangold anticipated that filming would begin "early next year."[118][119] Prior to filming, the film was given the working title of Juarez to lower the visibility of the production.[120][121][122][123] By March 2016, Mangold was preparing to shoot in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a starting schedule of May.[124] Producers Kinberg, Shuler Donner and Parker choose to film in Louisiana because of its popularity in the history film making locations,[125] as well as its filming incentive which includes a 40% tax credit for movie productions, but requiring a minimum spend of USD300,000.[126]

Principal photography began in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 2, 2016,[127] although it was originally scheduled to start shooting on April 25, 2016.[125][128][129] Other filming locations in Louisiana included the NASA Michoud Plant in New Orleans East,[130] Amite City,[131] Husser, the Greenlawn Cemetery in Hammond,[132] Metairie,[133] and the Ferriday Plaza Shopping Center.[134] Exterior scenes were filmed along Louisiana Highway 15.[135] A crash scene was shot on U.S. Route 425 just outside of Ferriday, Louisiana.[134] Producers Kinberg, Shuler Donner and Parker choose to film in Ferriday because of Concordia Parish's beautiful countryside and green cornfields.[136] Scenes were also shot at Sicily Island High School and a house in Sicily Island.[134]

From June 14 to June 28, 2016,[137] production was scheduled to take place in Natchez, Mississippi to film a scene that required the casting of truck drivers.[138] On July 12, 2016, production moved to its third major filming location – New Mexico, which ran through August in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Abiquiú, Tierra Amarilla and Chama.[139][140][141][142][143][144] According to the New Mexico Film Office, production employed about 130 New Mexican crew members and two New Mexican cast members, as well as 600 extras.[145] Scenes were shot at the Northern Meadows neighborhood of Rio Rancho, while a few miles further down King Boulevard an elaborate set was built with a toppled water tower,[141] that was used for exterior shots.[146][147] Principal photography concluded in New Mexico on August 13, 2016.[148][149][150]

Post-production

Post-production began subsequent to filming closure on August 23, 2016.[151][152][153] Film editor Michael McCusker described the process of going through dailies and breaking them down, and figuring out the structure of one scene as being "complicated".[154] McCusker stated that the task was rather time consuming on the front end but said, "I am looking at the back end experience with [Mangold] as the more important experience. I don't want to be searching for stuff for him, I want to working towards getting the cut right."[154]

Chas Jarrett was the overall visual effects supervisor and visual effects company Image Engine worked on most of the visual effects on Logan.[155][156][157]

Music

In July 2016, Cliff Martinez was announced to be composing the musical score to Logan.[158][159][160][161] However in December 2016, Mangold announced that Marco Beltrami, who had previously collaborated with Mangold on 3:10 to Yuma (2007) and The Wolverine (2013), would score Logan instead.[162]

Influences

Director James Mangold said influences on Logan included "visual reference points" of cinema: Shane (1953), The Cowboys (1972), Paper Moon (1973), The Gauntlet (1977), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and The Wrestler (2008).[163][164][165][166]

Mangold spoke of cinematography-based framing, while noting that he doesn't necessarily think about the "comic-book" related sort, instead highlighting the variety of stylistic influences that went into Logan,[167] such as film noir framings, classic Hollywood filmmaking styles, as well as Germanic expressionist filmmaking style of the early part of the last century, to which Mangold also stated have a commonality with that of comic-book art, while being those to which he uses in Logan.[168] Mangold highlighted "Strong foregrounds, playing things in depth: you have to make an image say more within that one image."[169]

Using the image of Logan at a funeral as an example of his stylistic logic,[170] Mangold concluded by mentioning the aspects within modern filmmaking, primarily everything in close-up format, whereas for Logan his aim was to set frames that are descriptive, albeit, are evocative of comic-book panels and classical filmmaking.[171]

Release

Logan premiered at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival on February 17, 2017, in Berlin, Germany,[172] where it was selected to be screened out of competition[173][174] alongside The Bar, Final Portrait, Midwife, T2 Trainspotting, and Viceroy's House,[175][176] before screening in the United States, in which it will begin a wide release on March 3, 2017.[177][178][179][180] In October 2015, Fox confirmed that Logan would be released in IMAX format.[181][182][183]

One Last Time promotion

Prior to the confirmation that the then untitled Logan would be his final appearance in the X-Men film franchise, Jackman initially refuted such rumors. Jackman stated that he was inspired by Michael Keaton's performance in Birdman; and that he wished to portray the character of Wolverine until his death.[184][185] In July 2015, Jackman posted an image of Logan giving the middle finger with a claw to his Twitter. The image, coupled with the hashtag "#OneLastTime", signifying his last appearance portraying Logan and officially announcing his decision to stop playing the character he had been portraying for the past 17 years.[186][187][188]

During an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show in May 2015, Jackman clarified the confusion over the conflicting sentiments by stating bluntly that the film would be his final portrayal as the character; stating, "This will be my last one, it is my last time. It just felt like it was the right time to do it, and let's be honest, 17 years. I never thought in a million years it would last, so I'm so grateful to the fans for the opportunity of playing it. I kind of have in my head what we're going to do in this last one. It just feels like this is the perfect way to go out."[189] Jackman reiterated these sentiments the following month during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael.[190]

In December 2016, Ryan Reynolds revealed that he had been trying to convince Jackman to re-sign for a Wolverine/Deadpool crossover film. Urging fans to campaign online, he stated, "I want Deadpool and Wolverine in a movie together. What we're gonna have to do is convince Hugh. If anything, I'm going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line. Hugh Jackman is one of the best human beings. Part of the reason I want to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie is not just because I think the two would light the screen on fire but I genuinely love the guy."[191] In January 2017, Reynolds and Jackman spoke about the proposed project; in which Jackman stated "I’m hesitating, because I could totally see how that’s the perfect fit. But the timing may be wrong."[192] Jackman later stated that he would not be reprising the role for a team up film, stating "No, and Ryan is currently sleeping outside my house. [Laughs] Look, if that movie had appeared 10 years ago, probably a different story, but I knew two and a half years ago that this was the last one. The first call I made was to [director James Mangold]. I said, 'Jim, I got one more shot at this,' and as soon as Jim came up with the idea and we worked on it, I was never more excited. But, it feels like the right time. Deadpool, go for it man, do your thing. You don’t need me."[193]

Jackman did however state that he would be willing to keep playing Wolverine if the character had been brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, elaborating "If that was on the table when I made my decision, it certainly would have made me pause. That’s for sure. Because I always love the idea of him within that dynamic, with the Hulk obviously, with Iron Man but there’s a lot of smarter people with MBAs who can’t figure that out. You never know. At the moment, honestly, if I really did have them there, I probably wouldn’t have said this is the last. It just feels like this is the right time [to leave the character]."[194]

Marketing

In April 2016, Fox decided not to showcase its upcoming movie releases, including Logan in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con as the studio felt it could not prevent the piracy of custom trailers and exclusive footage routinely screened for fans in attendance.[195][196]

On October 20, 2016, 20th Century Fox released a 90-second teaser trailer to promote Logan,[197] following a 6-second sneak peek the prior day.[198] Later that day, 20th Century Fox released an international red band version of the trailer, featuring slightly more graphic violence than the original.[199][200] Empire Magazine chose the trailer as the best trailer of the year.[201] The Hollywood Reporter's Aaron Couch praised the trailer, and stated, "If Logan delivers on the promise of this trailer, it will be a true rarity in modern superhero movie making.[202] James Dyer of Empire heralded the trailer and its director, James Mangold, by stating: "We've had a veritable feast of great trailers [...] from John Wick (2017) to Rogue One (2016), Assassin's Creed (2016) and A Cure for Wellness (2017). But none [...], no matter how impressive, have been quite so artfully constructed as this glorious first look at [Mangold]'s Logan.[203] Forrest Wickman of Slate called the trailer "surprisingly mournful".[204]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Logan is projected to gross around $65 million in its opening weekend,[205] while worldwide the film is expected to open to around $170 million.[206]

Critical response

Logan received praise for its acting, direction, screenplay and faithfulness to the mythology of Wolverine.[207][208][209] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 93% based on 172 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Hugh Jackman makes the most of his final outing as Wolverine with a gritty, nuanced performance in a violent but surprisingly thoughtful superhero action film that defies genre conventions."[210] Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 77 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[211]

Scott Collura of IGN gave Logan a score of 9.7/10 and called the film, "an emotional, heavy picture, but it’s also an uplifting one that reminds us that it’s okay to fight for something more, something better," and "perhaps the best X-Men movie yet."[212] A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Club gave 4.5/5, and said "[the film] manages to deliver the visceral goods, all the hardcore Wolverine action its fans could desire, while still functioning as a surprisingly thoughtful, even poignant drama—a terrific movie, no 'comic-book' qualifier required."[213] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave a 'B-', and called it "both the most violent film in the series and the most sentimental one. When it's not showering you in blood, it's trying to make you spill tears."[214] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter reacted positively, saying: "Seamlessly melding Marvel mythology with Western mythology, [director] James Mangold has crafted an affectingly stripped-down standalone feature, one that draws its strength from Hugh Jackman's nuanced turn as a reluctant, all but dissipated hero."[215]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave it 4/5, stating the best part of the film was "...the unexpectedly poignant relationship between Xavier and Logan" and stated, "I’d be tempted to call them the Steptoe and Son of the mutant world." He also compared Wolverine's hitting of his truck to Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers.[216] James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave it 3.5/4 and said, "In terms of tone and content, Logan is Deadpool's polar opposite but both productions refuse to play by traditional superhero movie rules [...] With his glimpse into what superhero movies can be, James Mangold has given us something sadly lacking in recent genre entries: hope."[217] Kyle Smith of the New York Post also gave 3.5/4 and said "the film recognizes that superhero movies such as last year’s forgettable X-Men: Apocalypse have become meaningless spectacle [...] I'd rank it beside X-Men: Days of Future Past among the best X-Men entries."[218] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com also gave 3.5/4 and said, "Logan has stakes that feel real, and fight choreography that’s fluid and gorgeous instead of just computer-generated effects. Most importantly, Logan has characters with which you identify and about whom you care. It's not just 'great for a superhero movie,' it's a great movie for any genre."[219] Jonathan L. Fischer of Slate magazine called it "Unforgiven, with claws."[220]

On the other hand, Anthony Lane of The New Yorker reacted negatively, saying "If ever there was a time to hang up [Hugh Jackman]'s claws, that time is now."[221] Mara Reinstein of Us Weekly gave 2.5/4 and complained, in an otherwise lukewarm review, that "[T]he film loses its way during the 20-minutes-too-long journey. For all the breathless talk about how Logan transcends the superhero genre, there’s nothing groundbreaking about a road trip movie in which adults try to elude the bad guys to protect a super-special child."[222] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave 2/4 and said, "Logan is deadly serious, and while its gamer-style killing sprees are meant to be excitingly brutal, I found them numbing and, in the climax, borderline offensive."[223] Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine said, "The grim side of human nature is all over James Mangold's Logan. But that doesn't necessarily make it a good movie."[208]

Future

Since the production of the film, Ryan Reynolds and Jackman have both acknowledged their desire to have another feature film in which Deadpool and Wolverine appear together. Writers for the Deadpool sequel have stated that despite the fact that Logan is meant to be Hugh's final appearance as Wolverine, the desire of both actors to do so adds to the potential that it would happen in a future film.[224][225][226] In February 2017, Jackman said he has made up his mind and he won't be appearing in a Deadpool sequel.[227]

Mangold stated that with the introduction of Laura Kinney / X-23 into the X-Men film universe, he would like to see the character appear in future films and would want to be involved should that happen.[228] Simon Kinberg, producer of the X-Men film universe, has since stated that the studio has plans for future movies which will be revealed soon and that they do include X-23.[229] During the same month, Patrick Stewart has discussed his indecision of whether or not he'd like to return as Charles Xavier following Logan stating that he could see himself returning to the role in the untitled Deadpool sequel.[230][231][232]
