The trailer for Logan has officially become more than a successful promotional tool for Hugh Jackman’s third (and final) Wolverine movie: it’s now a bonafide Internet trend.

Fans have been so inspired by director James Mangold’s (3:10 to Yuma) unique stylistic take on the “Old Man Logan” storyline that they’ve taken to YouTube. The wave of fan mashups try to apply the Logan trailer’s Spaghetti Western visual tone and haunting audio of Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” in new creative ways; today, we have one that goes back to remix the visuals of fan-favorite franchise installment, X2: X-Men United, into the signature Logan style.
The black and white is a nice nod to another fan remix (The Logan Trailer in Black and White – definitely worth a watch). While the monochromatic makeover of the X2 visuals is far from perfect, the selection of footage and smart edits nonetheless capture the spirit of the Logan trailer in pretty good measure.
Since this Logan Trailer remix trend isn’t slowing down, we can’t wait to see what’s next. Maybe someone can even make X-Men Origins: Wolverine look appealing (good luck with that).
