On Monday morning, Jackman shared a new ad for the upcoming film on his personal Twitter account. It’s unclear whether this is a banner or a theater standee, but it features an action-packed image nontheless.
Underneath three-dimensional letters, spelling out Logan, the image shows the hero running against a blurred background, and a young girl in his arms. If you look closely, you can also see his infamous claws apearring from behind the letters.
According to the trailers of the film, the little girl is X-23, basically a powerful mutant similar to Wolverine.
Logan follows the title character in a post-apocalyptic world where many of the other mutants are dead. Wolverine, with the help of a very old Charles Xavier, must help X-23 escape to safety. The child could either be the downfall of all humanity, or the savior of the mutant race.
Logan is directed by James Mangold, and features a script penned by Mangold, David James Kelley, and Michael Green. The film will hit US theaters on March 3, 2017.
