Logan gets a lung-bust­ing­ly vio­lent new trailer

19 Jan 2017

Words by Adam Woodward

Wolver­ine is back for one last ride… and he’s bought a friend along with him.

Hav­ing pre­vi­ous­ly been treat­ed to an effec­tive­ly som­bre, John­ny Cash-scored first trail­er, the mak­ers of Logan have upped the ante with a suit­ably vio­lent glimpse of Hugh Jackman’s last ever screen out­ing as the icon­ic char­ac­ter that made him famous.

James Mangold’s film, set in the near future, sees the epony­mous anti­hero car­ing for an infirm Pro­fes­sor X (Patrick Stew­art) some­where near the Mex­i­can bor­der. It’s a ten­der set up, with Logan also tak­ing a mer­cu­r­ial young­ster under his adaman­tium-tipped wing. Then every­thing goes to hell as some misc mutant hunters rock up with a whole load of guns and not much of a plan.

Con­sid­er­ing how indis­putably awe­some Jackman’s Logan is, it real­ly is a cry­ing shame that he hasn’t appeared in more great movies since he ripped his way into our hearts way back in 2000. At least he looks set to bow in style – in a mad, moody fren­zy of breath­less action.

Logan is released 1 March.
