Hugh Jackman wanted to go out on top with Logan, leaving the audience wanting more. And you know what? He sure did! And because of that, he deserves to take a long and well deserved vacation. Where to? A magical place!

Earlier this morning, a beaming Jackman posted a photo of himself on vacation, with the largest island in French Polynesia in the background. The caption simply read, “Tahiti!”
Of course, when Clark Gregg saw Jackman’s tweet, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a Project T.A.H.I.T.I. (Terrestrialized Alien Host Integrative Tissue I.) reference. But instead of saying, “It’s a magical place,” Gregg warned his fellow Marvel actor: “Dude, be careful…”
He also added the hashtag “#LoganLives.” That’s a callback to the CoulsonLives campaign that was started in May 2013 to unlock footage from yet to be aired first Agents of SHIELD episode. The hashtag itself played into the mystery surrounding the resurrection of Agent Coulson, who had perished a year before in The Avengers when Loki stuck his scepter through Coulson’s chest.
It was later revealed that former SHIELD Director Nick Fury put Coulson through an experimental procedure to reverse his death. Using Kree blood and a brain-rewriting machine, SHIELD scientists removed the traumatic experiences of Coulson’s death and regeneration so that he wouldn’t be driven insane like other people who underwent the procedure.

In 2029, the mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because her DNA contains the secret that connects her to Logan. A relentless pursuit begins … In this third cinematic outing featuring the Marvel comic book character Wolverine we see the superheroes beset by everyday problems. They are ageing, ailing and struggling to survive financially. A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.
Logan stars Hugh Jackman (Logan), Boyd Holbrook (Donald Pierce), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), Dafne Keen (Laura Kinney/X-23), Stephen Merchant (Caliban), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Gabriela), and Richard E. Grant (Dr. Zander Rice).
James Mangold (The Wolverine) directed, based on a screenplay he co-wrote with screenwriters Scott Frank and Michael Green.
