Re: LOGAN Oh wow. That looks.. really good. Old Man Logan is one of my favorite Wolverine stories, so I'm really stoked and praying they get this right.
Sir Patrick Stewart is back, which is awesome.
Is that girl a young X-23?
Topped off with one of my favorite songs of all time, yeah... You built up some serious goodwill with Deadpool. Don't let down Fox.
Re: LOGAN I thought I read somewhere the girl is supposed to be Elsie Dee/LCD. But X-23 would make more sense with Xavier's line about her being a lot like Logan.
I am wondering about Chuck, though. It's supposed to be set years in the future, enough for Logan to be grey-haired, and for "all mutants" to be gone even after the more upbeat ending of Days of Future Past. So...is it actually Xavier? Maybe an imaginary friend that Wolvy talks to? Or Mystique, who took on her foster brother's form for some reason?
Or maybe it's really him and I'm reading too much into it.
Re: LOGAN Well, we know for a fact that it's Laura now. Thats been confirmed.
Rumors are abound that this is actually in it's own "Deadpool-like" universe, where it's not really connected to any other movie other than it's own thing. I'm... Okay with that really.

I'd actually prefer it that way, so that only makes me more excited. The movie X-continuity is such a mess that this gives them more wiggle room.
Re: LOGAN Saw it today with my brother. I don't normally dig the R-rated flicks, and there was gallons of blood.
Yet...it was not bad at all. It tugged at the heartstrings while maintaining a coherent story and concluding Jackman's career. Like Deadpool before it, it's an R-rated comic movie that manages to maintain faithfulness to the material, even if it diverges in several respects.
Both Jackman and Stewart do great work here, especially Hugh...one scene had me bordering on shedding man-tears. I can't think of an R film that ever did that...and the only comic movie to do that was Batman Begins...which was when Bats was yo-yo-ing a corrupt cop.
As fun as it might be for Jackman to come back in the role in a Deadpool sequel, at this point, it might feel...like it'd cheapen what Logan did.
