Over the past few weeks, a slew of teaser images and stills from Logan have been released on social media. Jackman's picture is just the latest to hit the Internet, and the drops have made fans more hyped for the darker blockbuster than ever before. And, according to director James Mangold, fans should be excited.
"Spectacle is not enough," Mangold said when asked to describe the film.
"The thing that we're trying to differently is trying to invest in character," he continued. "The fact is that a lot of these movies are a collection of set pieces of action with very short connective things basically explaining how we go from action piece A to action piece B. We wanted to make a movie that's really a drama. If you cut out the action, what you'd have is a powerful drama about interesting character. Whether that makes us different or not, I'll leave others to judge but I tihnk it was our goal to make a movie that earned its audience from feeling real. Really feeling human or feeling intimate."
Logan takes place in the year 2024, where mutant births have become extremely rare. The defenders of mutant kind, the X-Men, are long gone, and the only remains of them are an old and struggling Charles Xavier and a weary Logan. Logan's vaunted healing factor has slowed, and at times doesn't seem to work at all. When a young mutant needs his help, Logan has to unsheathe his claws once more. His job isn't over yet.
