With another unconventional background music choice, the sneak peek for the 'X-Men' spin-off features Wolverine's final fight.
- Feb 6, 2017
AceShowbiz - 20th Century Fox has released a brand new promo for "Logan" during Super Bowl. The 30-second spot highlights the final return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Marvel's hero which he has played for nearly two decades.
The ad uses another classic tune, "Amazing Grace", as the background music to add poignancy to the trailer, just like the first trailer did with Johnny Cash's "Hurt". Although the ad doesn't shed light on the plotline, it is packed with action scenes featuring Logan slicing his way through adversaries in pursuit of Laura Kinney a.k.a. X-23 (Dafne Keen). Jackman, who has played Wolverine since 2000's "X-Men", shows his magnificent performance as the clawed mutant.
Through the trailer, we get to see more of the ability of the young mutant in a fight against the dark force. Laura is seen running through the woods with several other children, as if they are being chased. The trailer also highlights Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) who is behind a machine gun and offers a glimpse of mutant Caliban. Caliban, played by actor/comedian Stephen Merchant, is a new character which will be introduced in the movie. The trailer ends with an emotional scene, in which X-23 is seen holding Logan's bloody hand.
"Logan" revolves around old Logan, in the near future, who has been long retired from the superhero game and opts to spend his days working as a driver and taking care for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) in a hideout on the Mexican border. But his inner superhero is being called once again after he meets a young mutant who reminds him of himself.
James Mangold directs the movie and writes the screenplay alongside Scott Frank and Michael Green. Also starring Doris Morgardo as Maria, Elizabeth Rodriguez as Gabriela and Richard E. Grant as Dr. Zander Rice, "Logan" hits U.S. theaters on March 3.
