Final Trailer for Logan Shows Off X-23



Fox has dropped the final trailer for Logan ahead of its early March release date. In what is widely considered to be Hugh Jackman’s final role as everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed Canadian mutant, Logan finds the character several years after  the previous X-Men films, when mutants seem to have all but disappeared from the world. Gradually losing his healing factor and saddled with taking care of an increasingly senile Professor Xavier, Wolverine’s world is turned upside down one more time when he encounters a young girl with similar powers to his own. The girl, played by newcomer Dafne Keen, appeared briefly in a previous trailer, sparking rumors that she was X-23, the female clone of Wolverine introduced in the comics back in 2004. Those rumors have been all but confirmed with this latest teaser, as we actually see snippets of her unsheathing claws and ripping through an entire team of heavily armed gunmen. There’s still a lot of the movie we haven’t seen, and Fox still hasn’t gotten Wolverine quite right in his two previous solo outings, but this is shaping up to be a fitting goodbye to the character that Jackman has inhabited for more than 15 years. I for one, cannot wait to see what Logan has in store when it hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
