‘Logan’ Trailer: Hugh Jackman Brandishes Those Adamantium Claws One Last Time
The sun is setting onHugh Jackman’s tenure as Wolverine (well, assuming Ryan Reynolds can’t coax him back for aDeadpoolcrossover), but he’s not going out quietly. The former X-Man may be older and grayer inLogan– and thanks to the decline of his mutant powers, he’s in a state of chronic pain that he self-medicates with booze. But he’s still got the ability to unleash hell when the situation calls for it, and he finds himself compelled to do just that when he meets Laura (Dafne Keen), a young mutant who needs his help.
The latestLogantrailer from 20th Century Fox offers just a little taste of the fight to come, and you can watch it after the jump.
