Logan
2017
****
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Dafne Keen, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal, and Elizabeth Rodriguez
In 2029, the weakened and disillusioned Logan takes care of the elderly Professor Xavier, who is having dangerous seizures. It is believed that no new mutants have been born in years, but could the young Laura be Logan's offspring? James Mangold's grim drama was inspired by Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, which depicted an alternative X-Men future. This bleak and violent comic book movie is closer to something like Joker, and not for the same target audience as the rest of the X-Men franchise. Hugh Jackman gives possibly his best performance as Wolverine.
