The Instagram account for Logan has released another mysterious black and white teaser photo for Hugh Jackman's final Wolverine movie.
The new image shows a road sign for Route 62 to El Paso, a city that has been referenced in past images as well. The sign also notes that the United States border with Mexico isn't far from the city.
It's still unclear why Wolverine is apparently spending so much time in Texas. The dry, sun-drenched landscape does evoke the same feel as Steve McNiven's art from the "Old Man Logan" storyline in Wolverine comics, which is said to inspire much of Logan's plot. Beyond that, the reasons remain unclear.
According to reports, Logan takes place in a near future where Wolverine's mutant abilities are not quite what they used to be, and mutant births are down across the globe. Wolverine and the mutant Caliban take care of Professor X in his old age. Meanwhile, a corporation called Transigen is turning mutant children into killed machines. Wolverine meets one of these children, whose hand can be seen in the first poster. The child has two claws like Wolverine's that protrude from her hand and Wolverine vows to protect her.
Logan is directed by James Mangold and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, Eriq La Salle and Elise Neal.
The title, Logan, is likely an homage to the comic book story "Old Man Logan," on which Logan is said to be loosely based.
Logan opens in theaters on March 3, 2017.
