Hugh Jackmanis getting ready to hang up the claws after playingWolverinefor nearly two decades, but not before giving fans one last, hopefully excellent adventure in theX-Menuniverse. 20th Century Fox knows that fans are very eager to see Wolverine’s last ride, so they decided to giveLogansome ad time during the Super Bowl. Lucky for us, they already dropped the newLoganSuper Bowl spot online.
20th Century Foxuploaded the brand new spot forLogan, which will be the third soloWolverine movie, to their YouTube channel just after it aired as part of the Super Bowl 51 festivities. The video doesn’t feature a ton of new footage, but it does condense a lot of the best shots we have seen in previous trailers into a very action-packed, intense and dark tease. They also decided to go the patriotic route, by setting this Super Bowl spot forLoganto the tune of “Amazing Grace.” It definitely paints a very bleak future for Mutants, which seems to line up with what we have heard about the movie up to this point. Here is the official synopsis forLogan.
“In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailingProfessor Xin a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.”
While there wasn’t a ton of new footage in thisLoganspot, we do get a cool, new look atStephen Merchantas Caliban and some new footage of the mutant X-23, played byDafne Keen, seemingly making something of a jailbreak with a bunch of other youngsters. One of the most interesting things aboutLoganis that it is going to be R-rated, which is something that no otherX-Menmovie prior toDeadpoolhad the luxury of. That means the creative team andHugh Jackmanare going to be able to crank up the carnage and show a side of Wolverine fans have never seen on the big screen before. Even though this spot was aired on TV, it is still easy to see that this is going to be a much more violent, and possibly true-to-form version of Wolverine. Fox has largely kept the movie under lock and key, but they did show 40-minutes of the movie to a crowd at a media event a couple of months ago and the response to that was highly positive. All early indicators point toLoganbeing the Wolverine movie we have all been waiting for.
