2016 was nothing if not an interesting year for superhero movies, but there were definitely some serious bright spots. Sadly,X-Men: Apocalypsedidn’t quite live up to the hype, so fans will have to look ahead to next year withLogan, which will be the third soloWolverinemovie in theX-Menfranchise, andHugh Jackman’s final turn as the character. Now, he has shared another new image from the upcoming movie online.
The beloved Australian actor took to hisTwitteraccount in order to deliver a bit of a belated Christmas gift forWolverinefans in the form of a new, color image fromLogan. The only reason it is worth mentioning that it is a color image is because many of the images that Fox has shared from the movie have been in black and white. Outside of it being color, it doesn’t offer much that we haven’t already seen, but it is quite a lovely image ofHugh Jackmanstanding next to a car that we have seen in the trailer for the movie.
We still don’t know a ton aboutLoganin terms of major story points, which is interesting considering how much marketing material we have seen for the movie so far. We do know that it will very loosely follow theOld Man Loganstoryline from the comics and that the mutant X-23, who is something of a female version ofWolverine, will be appearing. We also know that the Reavers will be the main villains, with Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) leading the charge. Additionally,Patrick Stewartwill also be having one last go as Professor X, which should help to entice long-time fans of the franchise. Not only that, but the first trailer forLoganwas met with near universal praise, with many calling it one of the best trailers of 2016. Fox also recently showed 40-minutes of footage at an event and those who saw it were raving about it, so this could very much be theWolverine moviewe’ve been waiting for.
Hugh Jackmandidn’t provide a caption for thislatest photo, but he did tag directorJames Mangoldin it, who is returning to direct after helmingThe Wolverine, which was met with much better response thanX-Men Origins: Wolverinewas. The movie grossed a very respectable $414 million worldwide, but withLoganbeing the last timeHugh Jackmanis playing the beloved mutant, the box office take on this outing will likely be quite a bit more. Never underestimate how muchX-Menfans loveHugh Jackman. Not to mention that Fox proved withDeadpoolthat anR-rated moviewon’t necessarily suffer financially because of it. It is more about providing fans with a good movie.
