Having been pegged for a $170 million global bow, Hugh Jackman’s X-Men swansong Logan has exceeded expectations, with the third Wolverine solo movie debuting to $237.8 million worldwide.
Tell us, are you disappointed that Logan didn’t feature a post-credits scene?
The Australian actor is known for his long-running role as Wolverine / Logan in the Marvel Comics superhero franchise, and most recently reprised his famous role in new movie Logan.
Filmed in the brutal summer heat of Louisiana and New Mexico, Logan was heavily influenced by Shane, the 1953 story of a tired cowboy drawn back into violence after trying to settle down with a homestead family. If you don’t know anything about the relationship between the title mutant and Charles Xavier (Stewart), the arc they experience in this film would be far less impactful. Although, I suspect many audience members still might have liked to see Logan walk into that sunset with them. That being said, if the team working on the movie couldn’t think of something appropriate or simply felt it would have been tacked on for the sake of it, it’s hard to be too critical.
Are we going to have more R-rated superhero movies? Professor X may show up in a Deadpool sequel, and Stewart – not James McAvoy – could be playing him once again.
One of them is Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez), who’s taken a odd young girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) under her wing. It’s rooted in some real family dynamics. “It’s her balancing act between innocence and intensity that sells Logan’s journey”. There is a great balance between the humor and the sternness that is presented. This is a character-driven piece. Logan is an exceptional movie that has set the bar extremely high for comic book movies this year. It is an emotional, heavy picture, but it’s also an uplifting one that reminds us that it’s okay to fight for something better than ourselves. And I am glad to assure you, and the world at large, that I was never ever in any peril. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is a functioning alcoholic working as a limo driver in a border town. The highly political comedy/horror – which explores the dark underbelly of a wealthy, white, ostensibly liberal community when a black man comes to visit – has proven it’s got staying power.
