Only time will tell just how dark in tone Logan ultimately proves to be, but based on everything that’s been revealed thus far things are looking pretty bleak for Wolverine.
Primed to feature an R-rated Western-themed narrative loosely based on the classic comic book story Old Man Logan by Mark Millar, the forthcoming movie already looks to be a stirring sendup to the longstanding franchise protagonist as played by lead actor Hugh Jackman.
Following the release of an image that appeared to offer the origin story for the new X-Men feature franchise character X-23, all the enigmatic pieces revealed thus far about Logan are coming together in a big way.
With Jackman allegedly stepping down from the lead role following the release of the new movie, a lot of X-Men fans are no doubt wondering what kind of direction and thematic statement Mangold has up his sleeve with the forthcoming release of Logan.
