Logan is a 2017 American superhero film that revolves around an aging, powerless Wolverine who lives in a future where mutants are on the brink of extinction. The film was directed by James Mangold and written by Scott Frank, Michael Green, and Mangold himself. It stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Dafne Keen in the lead roles.

The movie marks the ninth and final appearance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, and it is loosely based on the comic book series Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. Logan premiered at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival and received critical acclaim for its darker and more realistic take on the superhero genre, as well as for its emotional depth, character development, and performances.

Plot

The plot of Logan takes place in the year 2029, where most mutants have been eradicated or gone into hiding due to genetic tampering. Wolverine, who is now going by his birth name, James Howlett, works as a limo driver in El Paso, Texas, and takes care of an ailing Charles Xavier, who is suffering from a degenerative brain disease that causes him to have seizures that affect the environment around him.

One day, Logan is approached by a woman named Gabriela who begs him to take her and a young girl named Laura to a safe haven in North Dakota called Eden. Laura is a young mutant with similar powers to Wolverine, and she is being hunted by a group of mercenaries called the Reavers, who work for a company called Alkali-Transigen that created a new breed of mutant soldiers from stolen DNA samples.

Themes

The themes of Logan delve into the consequences of violence, aging, mortality, and fatherhood. The film portrays Wolverine as a broken and self-loathing hero who has lost most of his passion for life and his sense of purpose. Throughout the movie, Logan struggles with the burden of being responsible for his loved ones, the guilt of his past actions, and the fear of his own death.

Box Office Success

Logan earned $247 million in North America and $619 million worldwide against a budget of $97 million, making it the third highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the highest-grossing X-Men film. The movie received several nominations and awards, including an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor for Jackman, and a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress for Keen.
