In the first official trailer for “Logan”, we’re presented with an older, weathered Wolverine who looks more than a bit dejected. Also, he doesn’t seem to be healing as quickly as normal, with multiple scars on his back and wounds on his hands.
“Charles, the world isn’t the same as it was,” we hear Wolverine’s voice say in the opening few second. “Mutants — they’re gone now.” Goosebumps. An ancient Professor X then introduces us to Laura Kinney, a mystery girl and clone of Wolverine. Kinney clearly needs Wolverine’s projection as there are some not-so-savory people hellbent on finding her.
There’s a sombre air of finality in this trailer, amplified by the use of Johnny Cash’s immense cover of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Hurt’, but it’s the gritty, Western-like conclusion we deserve. We’ll have to wait until March for the Wolverine spinoff trilogy to conclude but until then, enjoy the trailer below.
