In James Mangold and Hugh Jackman's Logan, the world has seen the rise and fall of mutant kind. A new image from the film gives fans' an abstract look at the world that Logan exists in these days, and what quick glimpse at the world that existed before.
A new image from Logan (which currently holds a 4.29 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings) shared on the WPONX Instagram account shows two X-Men comics laying by a stray bookbag (via ScreenRant).
Fans know that the X-Men are no longer around, and at this point, there are very few mutants around either. The comics show the team in better times, but these days Logan acts as a guardian for his former mentor, Professor Xavier, who's powers aren't what they once were.In the first Logan trailer, Wolverine can be seen standing on the outskirts of a cemetery drinking with a funeral going on in the background. It remains to be seen just what happened to the rest of mutantkind, but the good news is fans don't have to wait long to find out.
Logan takes place in the year 2029, 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.
Logan stars Hugh Jackman (Logan), Boyd Holbrook (Donald Pierce), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), Dafne Keen (Laura Kinney/X-23), Doris Morgado (Maria), Stephen Merchant (Caliban), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Gabriela), and Richard E. Grant (Dr. Zander Rice). James Mangold is directing and helped on the screenplay along with Scott Frank and Michael Green.
Logan hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
